Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
Humanity's lunar refuge depends on a distant drug supply controlled by a dangerous roboticist. Flashing panels, earnest space politics and peculiar machines fill a future with more confidence than coherence; a busy excursion for lovers of shiny bargain space opera.

Synopsis and movie facts
Planet Earth is a devastated wasteland, and what's left of humanity has colonized the Moon in domed cities. Humanity's continued survival depends on an anti-radiation drug only available on planet Delta Three, which has been taken over by Omus, a brilliant but mad mechanic who places no value on human life. Omus wants to come to the Moon to rule and intends to attack it by ramming robot-controlled spaceships into the domes. Dr. John Caball, his son Jason, Jason's friend, Kim, and a robot named Sparks embark on Caball's space battlecruiser on an unauthorized mission to Delta Three to stop Omus.
