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.

10/10

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.

I can't believe I made it through this movie. Between the terrible script, lurking plot, non subtle star wars reference, texan robot and red dyed horses it was a trial to survive. For a 4 million dollar movie, I would be hoping they saw some serious change or at least kept their receipts for this one. Please do not make yourself watch this movie. Hasselhoft how could you?

Really bad FX make this either unbearable to sit through or a laugh riot.

Silly but enjoyable film, a good film for young kids since there is nothing offensive about it. The film is laughably bad but the colorful stars and spaceships look nice. This definetly should not get 5 stars though folks

Well the best part of this movie is the women running around in a bathing suit kind of outfits. Everything else is pretty bad. Thanks again MST 3K crew. I don't know which was worse the dialogue or the props. I don't know why they tried to make something so similar to Star Wars just with a much worse plot etc...

Many special effects are horrible, but the Floating City looks nice and Munro is quite fresh. Plummer has some fine closing lines. But best are the space torpedoes! I believe the Italians used something similar in World War II, but in the sci-fi genre this feature is quite unique.

Never thought I'd see a Star Wars rip-off worse than Turkish Star Wars.
