In the future Humanity has reached the point of a Star Trek society.
Organized space travel, unified Earth and mass technological achievement.
But all of that is for nothing.
For a race of hyper Advanced aliens far beyond human understanding has flown into the solar system with the sole intent of capturing human bodies to sell on a mass slave Intergalactic Market.
Now a remnant of the human military force alongside a fanatic genius and a rogue space criminal have to team up stop the Alien Invasion from kidnapping the human race.
They're not very successful in their Endeavor. As mass chunks of Africa, Arabia, Russia, Japan and possibly other regions of the world have already been invaded by the aliens. The people have been kidnapped by a bunch of strange robot men who have that weird haircut Adum has from that He-man show.
One of the key reasons that humanity is doing so poorly is because of a rare space mineral called Enderiam.
On Earth there's only a few ounces of material, where as this alien Homeworld may have an entire planet flowing with the stuff.
Our Super Genius man (who has telekinetic powers for some reason) is trying to find a way to create an auntie-Enderiam version of this mineral, so he can destroy the alien ships and save Humanity.
Also for some reason he needs an illegal space dude to break people out of prison to help with the development of this unique chemical compound.
(Said space dude also possesses telepathy for some weird reason.)
He wastes a lot of time playing card games and hooking up with random women.
There's also space boxing which has nothing to really do with anything. But is literally the most entertaining part of the whole movie.
I honestly wish we had a space boxing movie now as I think you could make for something quite entertaining with that approach.
In fact this whole movie is littered with weird things that would make for a pretty entertaining film. But they're all mixed together with this hodgepodge of confusion and simply put together cinematic filler.
It's a Star Wars clone in that it has lightsabers and it was made to capitalize on the Star Wars name. Though nothing else about it has anything to do with that movie.
Honestly I was kind of enjoying the first two-thirds of the film.
It was strange and silly and although it was incredibly cheap I kind of like how everything looked.
They had the right mix of fun and silly.
But then the last third of the movie is just a mind-numbingly boring. Everything just goes along in the most generic ''we need to rescue our genius from a kidnapped alien'' situation. It becomes a real slog. Apparently the Italian version is 20 minutes shorter so I don't know what's going on there.
Also there's a funny looking robot who acts as a bartender. Not unlike Beer-bought from the Angry Nintendo Nerd's Star Wars videos.
I wish I could recommend this movie. It's weird and fun and there's so many tiny moments that are fascinating and enthralling.
But it just burns out towards the end. Maybe try to find the Original Italian version that's 20 minutes shorter. That's got to be a help right there. I wonder what they cut out.
