Arguably one of the worst films I have seen.
I saw this one in the cinemas on release and even in my relative youth felt the film was weak. The crass Silicone Graphics product placement could have been quite funny now 10 years later but when so many awful minor roles kept popping up I had to wonder if SGI executives were given minor acting roles as part of the collusion. Witness the launch announcer when Jupiter is taking off. I vote him for the worst actor of the century award - how about you? Then there is the costuming. Every member of the space family has either great plastic breasts on their suits sharp enough to take out an eye or if male Romanesque pectoral muscles. It just looks lame/distracting and completely unnecessary.
I'm surprised we made it past the first scene with a space dog fight.. This might have just been a bit of fun but the scriptwriter felt it was necessary to have Joey (you know from Friends) say some really, really cheesy lines every 15 or so seconds. Again distracting - just for it's BADness.
Perhaps the scriptwriters had been taking laxatives and it had effected their writing, some of the absolute worst dialogue can be found within this abomination of a movie. Enjoy PS - Avoid this lemon.
