Just didn't click for me. After seeing the cover, the effects seem a lot like an Atari game brought to life in the 70's. The amusingly low budget costuming paired with ever present CGI practically screams Atari.

In a lot of ways, this flick delivered pretty much what was promised. Yeah, it was zero budget and when it showed, it showed. I mean, it s-h-o-w-e-d. But the budget isn't the problem here. The film also had moments of crazy, genius, demented whackaloon enjoyment that sometimes surface in flicks like this - stuff made by people who barely know what they're doing but are having a boatload of fun doing it. There simply wan't enough of that.

Some of the exterior ship scenes were actually better than expected - perhaps too much so. Yeah, they were still bad but a few steps beyond the moments where a pilot is controlling his ship by holding a cardboard box. And that difference underscores the whole film. This film really needed cardboard ships... or kitchen gizmos turned into spaceships. (Think Ernie Fosselius' "Hardware Wars")

I suppose the film's real flaw is it doesn't go with its real strengths and misses some real opportunities. Take the guy with the massive black cardboard costume, giant shoes and huge Groucho Marx nose over a walrus mustache - damn damn damn, that guy should have led the entire movie - he absolutely owned every scene he was in. He should have been the villain. Or the hero. When that guy walked out of the dressing room, they should have scrapped the script immediately and shouted "we're going with this. He's the hero. Let's rock and roll, baby. Pecan pie for EVERYONE!"

In short, Galaxy Lords is pretty much what it tries to be. If you like no-budget amateur sic-fi cinema, you might dig this. You might not. Mileage will definitely vary.

But if for no other reason, watch it for the guy with the giant black cardboard costume. You will not be disappointed.

This beautiful stinker deserves a cult following not unlike Rocky Horror. This movie made me laugh out loud, as I hurled insults and (in my mind at least) funny comments. I'm telling you, everyone is watching this movie all wrong.

Maybe it's just me. When I watch Mr. Ed, I don't see a guy and his funny talking horse, I see a sad portrayal of the onset of schizophrenia, in a man who thinks his horse talks to him.
