Pretty Good
Fresh and Exciting
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
For those who thinks that TOS, Space 1999 are funny, they should be in heaven with this very low budget Scifi flick: so the costumes, sets, special effects are terribly cheap but beyond, the story and characters are totally hilarious: desert female civilization with no male reproduction, time travel spaceships, green hands for curing,... However it's shot and played with 100% confidence and highly seriously... In a way, it reminds me also of the Japanase shows and animes in which you find a fresh, dynamic, one of a kind Scifi... For sure, Kim is the essential angelic presence to make it watchable and i really wonder how she picked this script???
Another extremely low budget Roger Corman produced film about the bleak future. What makes this one interesting for me is Kim Greist. I've always found her intriguing but underused and this is a very rare starring role for her. There are a lot of pin-up type actress's in this film and Greist although very attractive, is not that sort of actress. So her intelligence and character stand out even more. Even in a real silly story such as this is enough to showcase her natural talent. I hope to see more of her. In anything!
I came over all nostalgic when I watched this one. Probably because I'm British and my favourite programme as a child was Dr Who. Who cared if the special effects were cheesy? No one.This is what you can do if your budget is less than the family weekly shop, you have energy, imagination, commitment and a hard working cast who thankfully possess a sense of humour. Thank you, Katt Shea.Long live nostalgia
