Star TREK Influence Is Heavy Here, A Splash of Star WARS!
Everything in this film reeks of lifting many ideas from the original Star TREK TV series! The bridge with the big screen for viewing, personal quarters, the crew is from planet Earth, monitors on the ship for viewing communications with crew-mates, sliding doors, color coded uniforms, aliens holding hostages, etc... I kept expecting to see a rip-off of a Vulcan (Mr. Spock) walk onto the screen. The only Star Wars influence I really see here are the laser-swords and the end fighting where they seem to be mimicking Skywalker and the guys in X-wing fighters, plus Darth Empress saying something about "leave that one to me" (she wanted to get him like Vader did Luke) but mainly the film is borrowing heavily from Star TREK TV series.
Story of this movie is OK, special effects fun, terrible acting, but the movie is kinda fun to watch, I'd rather watch Star Trek but this is not a downright awful film to view.
5/10
