Rating: 4/5 -- Definite "Star Wars" influenced, this trailer park adventure takes off, succeeds on own.

Rating: 5/5 -- Overlooked sci-fi tale. Great fun.

Rating: 2.5/4 -- The special effects are competent. The acting is good, and I enjoyed Robert Preston's fast-talking The Music Man reprise and the gentle wit of Dan O'Herlihy's extraterrestrial. But the final spark was missing. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- If you're going to shamelessly rip off Star Wars, make sure you do it with as much spirit as this film.

Rating: 4/5 -- full of 80s cheese, but for someone like me who grew up with this kind of stuff, it was the perfect escape Full Review

...[It] taps its sources with the zest of a vampire, and the result, if unoriginal, is nevertheless buoyant....Good-humored, bent on action and even touching...

The simplistic plot and simple story work thanks to the energy and light touch of director Nick Castle. Full Review

Product Description:

Teenager Alex Rogan lives and works in the trailer-park that his mother owns. His life consists of contemplating his rather bleak future, and waiting for word on his college loan application to arrive. One night all this changes forever. Alex possesses an extraordinary skill at video games, and when this skill attracts a space-travelling recruiter looking for pilots to protect the galaxy from outside forces, he suddenly finds himself on another planet in the middle of an inter-galactic war. It seems that his game-playing abilities are an invaluable military asset to the embattled "Star League of Planets."
