everything you have heard about this movie is true.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

First, let me say: I love bad movies. It's my thing. There will never be enough time to watch all that have been made. In my quest to knock out as many as I reasonably can while alive, I run across a few that don't even make the cut. This is one of those movies. I *think* that it is trying to be funny in parts, but those are the scenes that fail; the most egregious among these involve conversations about robot love. Horrible. Clearly edited with a chainsaw, sometimes characters are in two places at once, pursuing different ends. It spent a terribly long time assembling the team to defeat the aliens. Once I made it that far, I thought the movie would pick up. Sadly mistaken - I wish I had aborted the mission before that. At the end, the main woman's boyfriend dies. Let's just say she gets over it quickly. Also note the Big Twist worthy of M. Night Shyamalan with key characters switching allegiances. I'm not being facetious; that guy has lost it. If only I cared. Sadly, no one will watch this movie, and hence no one will read my review. At least I got it out of my system.

The film begins with what might be the crappiest electronic music in the history of movies! Is this is shade of things to come? You betcha! "Star Odyssey" is an Italian film that features really bad acting and amazingly low production values for a sci-fi movie. I saw a dubbed version and perhaps the original was a bit better--but it's still filled with weird and cheap costumes as well as bad camera-work and these are obvious no matter the language. Additionally, the sets look like very simple rooms adorned with just a few trinkets to make it look 'space-agy'. And, one of the few outdoor sets was in a junkyard! The net effect is a film that just almost always looks really cheap--almost like an amateur production (though I did like the villain with the face that looked like a waffle). My favorite bad special effect were the weird glowy eyes--you just have to see them to believe 'em.The plot involves some intergalactic baddie coming to attack the earth with his silly looking robots. Much of the plot frankly confused me--probably because it was so silly and dull I had difficulty staying awake. Plus, I think the film lost a bit in translation.

Alfonso Bresica honestly isn't a terrible director. Though this movie had a small budget, it still could have had potential. The main problem with this movie is that all the sequences are, well, out of sequence. Apparently, there was an editing mistake during post production which shuffled all the scenes around. Also, the movie ends in mid sentence which is really annoying. It has kind of a charm to it that you can't get from a big budget movie, and a much more cartoonish and lighthearted tone. I'd say if you're going to watch an Alfonso Brescia Sci-fi movie, then watch Cosmos: War of the Planets, which is a big improvement.

Have plenty of crackers ready for all this cheese. This movie is for the person who loves those late-night public access horror hosted shows. In fact, it's a safe bet that's the only way you'll ever see this movie. It's that bad. But that's what makes it so great! Hokey dialog, corny special effects and cardboard sets, along with some of the dingiest background music (and theme song) you're likely to ever hear. Add that to the cartoon-sounding sound effects and you've got a worse-than-Starcrash movie that'll satisfy any B-movie fan! UPDATE: This movie, believe it or not, has been released on DVD. The copy is as bad as the movie, but if you can find it in the dollar bin, there you go!
