The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Needless to say, Rocky and his crew do their utmost to bring about peace.I can't say I am a fan of these Rocky Jones TV movies. All of them were brought to feature length by editing episodes of the 'Rocky Jones Space Ranger' TV series together. They are so antiquated and lame that they will only appeal to the most hardened fan of 50's sci-fi. This one is basically exactly the same as the others I have seen – lots of wisecracking unfunny comedy, a female villainess and lots of very old school special effects. In fairness, these films have really lost their relevance as they must have been aimed at children back in the day but kids nowadays aren't too likely to want to watch something like this. This means that the intended audience is long gone and these flicks are of pretty limited interest beyond that. Definitely products of their time, so interesting from a historical point-of-view but beyond that you're basically struggling.
