1.5/4

This isn’t a wretched movie like Dirty Grandpa or Grown Ups, where even once is too much; this is the type to be savored again and again, like a patented Ed Wood mess-terpiece.

... a wonderful mess on a par with Luigi Cozzi’s similarly bonkers The Humanoid, Starcrash is the ideal film to zone out and just go with it, whatever it is...

Heartless and sexless (despite Munro's bondage gear outfit), the drama and excitement has been sucked out of everything it's borrowed from Star Wars.

The single greatest sci-fi camp fest ever put on celluloid. This film boasts the perfect blend of goofy cheese and unhinged imagination.

... both the most ridiculous and the most irresistible of all the Star Wars knock-offs of the late seventies and eighties.

Until now there hasn't been a camp science fiction movie I have given up on, but Starcrash is a hard pill to swallow. It's just too incoherent and frustrating to be able to enjoy even in an ironic way. Absolutely nothing makes sense on any level, and it comes to a point where you start to wonder if it's simply worthless on purpose. Either way, I'd rather spend my time on something else.

It was poor in all areas. I could not finish it, needed to pull weeds.
