Lightweight but great fun

After five or ten minutes, I kind of thought I got the joke and wondered if they could sustain my interest for an hour and a half. But they did! It reminded me a lot of the old Low Moan company that did Footlight Frenzy and Bullshot Crummond. Cheesy effects that nevertheless look better than anything in the old serials, two-dimensional characters who nevertheless manage to engage my sympathy -- even the villains, and a stirring soundtrack by Holst that manages to be only just _slightly_ over the top. Currently available on Amazon Prime (which you probably know because why else would you be looking for a review?).

I would give this an 11 but the dial doesn't go that high.

This movie popped out at me on Amazon Prime. The title elicited a chuckle and the rolling narration, starting with Chapter 3 a la Star Wars, got me laughing. The movie hilariously parodies all of the characters of the Flash Gordon serials of the 1930s. Each time I thought I could stop laughing and catch my breath, something else started my up again. Spaceships that look like they were made out of Tinker Toys. Characters talking like Harvey Korman. Scientific holes that you can drive a truck through. Two scientists back on Earth named Dr Middleton and Dr Crabbe. I wonder if anybody else caught that. In the Flash Gordon serials Charles Middleton portrayed Emperor Ming, the Merciless, of the Planet Mongol and, of course, Buster Crabbe was Flash Gordon.

If you're a fan of Plan 9 From Outer Space and the like, you're gonna love this one.

great movie if you love stupid stuff

Not Oscar material, but this movie knows what it is and is humorous in ways that make you feel tingly in your pancreas. It weakened my knees and loosened my bladder. worth watching but not for everyone. if you can't laugh at the absurd then you'd rate it a 1.....

Clever, self aware, low budget and proud

This is my new favorite movie when I'm just relaxing. It wears it's budget on it's sleeve with pride, yet places it straight as a lazer shot, it's a love letter to an era of cinema with different world views which I feel this masterfully highlights, modernizes and then seems to like fun at its own modernization of old material and it becomes a type of humor cycle that's easy to fall into and just enjoy the ride of classic setup/modern punchline. .

Or maybe I'm overthinking it?..

Pleasantly surprised

I was laughing on a pretty regular basis. A captain who's going through self discovery, the world's first female professor who can't remain conscious, a boy-man side kick who won't die and a happy ending that just can't be beat. Goes to show you don't need a big budget to make a funny, entertaining film.
