Critics Consensus: While nostalgic fans may view it through rose-Krullered glasses, this would-be sci-fi epic is painfully derivative.

The result was an enthralling experience that many Kiwi kids at the time preferred to the Ewok-infested, New Hope re-run that was Return of the Jedi... However, 40 years on and Peter Yates’ “intimate epic’ has not aged well.

A dull, derivative movie idea.

Do I recommend it? Not a chance.

It contains some interesting concepts, but it has a remarkably difficult time not appearing entirely derivative of other works.

Genre-hopping director Yates was never going to make a cookie-cutter Star Wars clone, and the soundstage stuff feels incredibly clunky. However, the film comes to life whenever it travels outside of the studio, and generally exudes old-fashioned charm.
