Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A threatened world sends magical seeds into space to recruit rescuers, giving an interplanetary adventure the logic of a particularly excitable fairy tale. The spectacle has real imagination, even when the costume choices and cosmic explanations seem to come from entirely different meetings.

Synopsis and movie facts
The peaceful planet of Jillucia has been nearly wiped out by the Gavanas, whose leader takes orders from his mother rather than the Emperor. King Kaiba sends out eight Liabe holy seeds, each to be received by a chosen one to defend the Gavanas. Each recipient, ranging from hardened General Garuda to Gavana Prince Hans to young Terrans Meia, Kido, and Aaron all have different reactions to being chosen.
