WAR IN SPACE
A film review by Mark R. Leeper
In 1977, STAR WARS proved that there was a big market for science
fiction films. A number of Italian filmmakers set out to exploit that
market, even at the cost of killing it. They rushed into old factories to
make horrible, set-bound melodramas that could make some claims on the
science fiction audience. This film has cheap costumes, a bad script, and
worse special effects. The aliens are chubby men in green body paint with
silly-looking fins on their ears. They are under the thumb of a nasty
computer that looks like a toy. The whole combination virtually guarantees
that no matter who you are, no matter what kind of films you like, no matter
how busy you are, *you* have something more important to do than to
watch this film.
