CriticsCritics: 50
AudienceAudience: 7.3

A ruthless space commander targets a princess and her planet’s air supply, sending a laid-back space wanderer and his hapless companion on a rescue mission. Their journey introduces them to a mentor who reveals a mysterious power the hero must learn to use.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you like broad, reference-heavy spoofs such as Galaxy Quest or Flash Gordon; Not for you if you prefer subtle humor, grounded stories, or consistently polished comedy.
