That was an excellent one.

... View MoreAt first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
... View MoreAlthough I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
... View MoreOnce again we had a reviewer who was criticizing a movie but was not a critic. This movie was entertaining and centered on a civilization that required a crystal to maintain order and peace for its people. The story opens with its people under attack by an evil empire led by Kyla who wants to posses the crystal. Tarkin leads the peaceful people with his sister Ladera. The Septarians are forced in to an underground bunker to preserve the crystal. HoweverKyla breaks breaks through kills Tarkin steals the crystal and flees. However, Ladera arrives before her brother passes on and he let's her know there is another crystal on Earth. The story shifts to Earth. The script while simple is easy to follow. Jed is the young man on Earthnthat discovers the crystal while in Peru. He had borrowed money from corrupt kingpin and at this time had no resources to pay Victor back. Appearing on Earth for the crystal are Ladera and Kyla. What follows is process of the local police, Jed, Ladera and Kyla trying to obtain the crystal. The action is great, the effects are okay and the acting is great. These are professional actors performing in a sci fi movie. Many of the earthlings are dumbfounded at first and act the part very well. The two aliens Ladera and Kyla perform their roles with aplomb as well. All in all a very entertaining sci fi movie.
... View MorePart "Star Wars", part "Terminator", but ALL turkey. A film so bad it needs to go by aliases: Galaxis AKA Galactic Force AKA Star Crystal AKA Terminal Force...After watching it I can't believe it was made in 1995 - I thought hairdos and costume design that bad could only have come from the mid-80s. Maybe it was kept in the can for 10 years before someone had the gall to release it.There's not a single part of film making that this movie doesn't insult. Some might think it has a kind of so-bad-it's-funny kind of appeal, but that wears thin very quickly.And I can't finish without mentioning the acting; the combined sum of the bad acting in this movie would dwarf the combined sum of bad acting in any other movie in the history of film.Don't watch it, not even for a laugh.
... View MoreWow... this movie is total fun. It doesn't attempt to be mind-blowing or original but it succeeds in providing campy entertainment. It does parody other movies (that's a nice way of saying rip off) extensively, taking full scenes like the "police headquarters terminator invasion" from the first Terminator and the entire Hoth storyline and imagery from Star Wars: The Empire... They even got the clear strategic panel. And Lord Tarkin.... ha! This movie has its faults in that it's total B-movie. But this only enhanced it for me, and the presence of Nielsen (a fav.) was very cool. Her character meant nothing in the beginning, but grew on me, and her "Nooo!" scream was the funniest I've seen in some time. Great stuff, if you can watch it without pretenses!
... View MoreThis is a utter waste of time and the money should have used to feed starving children in Tazmania. Nielsen is still around after her big break up to Sly. She still can't act and it shows here. This most be one of the most stupid movies I have ever seen. It looks like something from the late 70's sci-fi phase and it even has a stop motion robot that was terribly done and it was made in 1995. Something about the story is that an evil magician lord who is trying to conquer the universe shows up in some ship and shoots people dead and then everything teleports to earth where it was cheaper to film because then you don't have to build big futuristic sets. Brilliant concept. Anyways, this is purely for the birds.
