Battle Beyond the Stars

“A battle beyond time, beyond space.”

Certified Crap. CrapScore 54, rated by 1 admin.

Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.

Why it’s crap
A peaceful planet recruits an eccentric collection of fighters to resist a galactic tyrant. The Seven Samurai structure is familiar and the banter pulpy, but the imaginative spacecraft and practical effects give this cheerful space adventure considerably more craft than its knockoff reputation implies.
