Awful. Jerry Lewis does outer space....

Rating: Null/10 (9 January 1999)

This was an abysmal film.
I'm glad I saw it in a second-run theater, where it cost me all of two dollars to barely hang through.
This isn't s.f., it's not fantasy, the action is unconvincing, and it's not very funny. I can't object too much to Bruce Willis' effort in this film, even though I can not praise it either. But that god-forsaken Ruby Rhod character is beyond annoying. I actually might have been able to enjoy the camp design of this flick had that character been completely omitted. The childish sexual innuendo and flamboyant flaming homosexuality of Rhod was tiresome after the first five minutes.
I was saddened to see Ian Holm in this film. It belittled his performance as Mr. Kurtzman in Terry Gilliam's "Brazil."
It's no wonder the French like Jerry Lewis. Skip it, unless you're really into juvenile humor.
