fully expected to turn this off after 10 min, but found myself enjoying it immensely. Yes, its cheesy, yes the special effects are atrocious, yes the jokes are ham fisted... but my god, what a hoot. I loved the spaceship scense such as changing gears and screeching to a halt in space, loved the terribad aliens makeup and stereotypical crew. there are some good jokes and lots of sight gags and 'borrowing' from other classic sci fi films. Some named stars in the cast and they all did a fine job, not taking the film or themselves too serious. it was pretty entertaining overall
