Don't take it seriously

Rating: 7/10 (19 April 2000)

I think what really hurt this film was the advertising campaign. It was made to look like a serious science-fiction film. It's not. It's actually a science-fiction *comedy* that's so over-the-top, I can't believe people are trying to fault it for being something it isn't. On the level of gaudy, self-referential camp it succeeds gloriously. Watch this one with the right expectations and you ought to have a good time.
