This Japanese, Star-Wars rip-off is hysterical! My 13 year-old son and myself watched it on a Saturday morning and were falling on the floor laughing at the horrible special effects. The special effects included the very worst in plastic model building and in some scenes, you can see the rubber peel away (revealing hair) on the monsters. Pay attention and don't miss the exploding bad guy in the end! Better yet, skip this movie and doing something much more fun, like stick bamboo splinters under your fingernails... Your time will be much better spent.
