Well, it was pretty cool, epic ScFi, lots of action and far-out spacecraft. In my opinion kind of melodramatic as to the story and characters, but hey it was entertaining. THE WORMS of course!
But - the Emperor turns out to be Christopher Walken? I love Walken very much in movies. But here you have him showing up as the Emperor! You can't help but watch that and not think "Hey, that's not "the Emperor"! That's Christopher Walken! And doing some of his usual shtick (which is great). Why didn't the director have AI put in an evil Pee Wee Herman for the "Emperor"? It was an amazing "jump the shark" bit of miscasting.
