I love this movie so much

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Since I was born in '77, I didn't have the luxury of enjoying this series as kids of the decade were, but I was motivated by my uncle (who did grow up with the show) to take a look at the short-lived Saturday morning show. In December of 2010, I did take a week or two to watch the entire 15 episodes of the series, and the kid in me really embraced "Space Academy", talking with my uncle about it during visits shortly afterward. I look back fondly on 2010 because later in 2011, my uncle succumb to kidney cancer (it had spread to his spine and hip) and so the show was just one of many ways we enjoyed long conversations about sci-fi, childhood, and themes covered. Look, this is a cheesy show to the typical adult, but I recognize the whole point was to please a young audience by showing teenagers, and their older fatherly commander, engaged in space adventures, often performing tasks and duties on board a planetoid space station, or riding off on their ship, the Seeker. I think you can see the influence of Star Trek and perhaps even a little Lost in Space, as well. There's even a little robot companion to enjoy called Peepo. My son seemed to really enjoy it so I imagine there's still plenty of appeal in a show made for nickels and dimes at a small studio in California during the 70s. That's really all that matters, in the end, that the kids find something to enjoy that is harmless entertainment. And since I'm such an avid sci-fi fan, I couldn't be happier to allow my son to enjoy a show that offers the possibility of kids at an academy in space. It is fantasy but why not encourage children that anything's possible if you have the drive and intellect to pursue the stars?

I remember watching this in my PJs around age 5 but for some odd reason I thought I remembered it running on Saturday late afternoons rather than Saturday mornings. A lot of things I only remember bits and pieces of from that period of time.Of this show, I only remember a few things with any certainty. One is me thinking "hey, the mean guy from Lost In Space is on the show" and "hey, Scotty is on this show". I also remember thinking why the engine on their ship looked like a television set with an orange screen. And the kids all having some special powers---they'd all get in a circle holding hands and chanting "concentrate, concentrate".I can remember being well entertained by this show. I'm sure it was cheesy as hell, but hey...what in the 1970s wasn't?

I liked the show! It was fun with excitement in the scripts. For the longest time, I thought Meeno Peluce played Loki. It was one of those post Star Wars tv shows that was thrown together to address the Star Wars craze. Don't try and over analyze a show. The effects weren't great, but in retrospect, neither were Star Trek's but people are still fans. I remember this one episode that Loki stole a ship as a childish prank. I liked how Loki was disciplined. I remember another episode with a living asteroid. The telepathy of the twins was the first time I had been introduced to the concept of telepathy. They weren't goody goody. I loved Jason of Star Command. It was a fun serial for kids.

Space Academy could have surpassed expectations IF it had been allowed more air-time to develop the plots and characters. The potential for this show is astounding. With the ensemble cast and the 'name' value for Mr. Harris, this show could have taken many directions. As a soap opera, a thriller, focus on science/education or pure science fiction/Tom Corbett style galactic-good-guy-show, this series is now seen as 'campy'. Why? Financial backing was limited; vision was short sighted. Pity. This show made its mark in several areas with their special effects and live-action spin-off to name a few.If this show had been suggested today, I do not think it would have been made. This is sad; special effects technology alone would make this series outstanding. Space Academy was cut short in its prime; the actors and writers relegated to public obscurity unless supporters, the viewers, keep it alive. Thankfully, the decision to re-run the first year and allowing it to air in England, gave the few who did see it a good show that was just not allowed to live up to it's potential.
