Battle Beyond the Stars

This is kind of one of those films that is difficult to rate since it's kinda garbage but it's also enjoyable garbage. The pace of the film means that its laughable qualities are difficult to dwell on - it's easier to get lost in the fact it's a campy nonsense romp. It helps that it also has quite a few genuinely (and unintentionally) funny moments. Obviously, with it being made in 1980, the special effects are quite dated but are generally serviceable, in my opinion. The weakest parts are the visually repetitive space battles, if you can call them that. The plot is very simple but the visual gloss of the costumes and makeup help distract from that. I feel my score of 6/"fair" doesn't quite do it justice, since I did actually enjoy it a fair bit, but objectively even a 6/10 is probably a little generous! :laughing:

Hillaaaarious
