... a wonderful mess on a par with Luigi Cozzi’s similarly bonkers The Humanoid, Starcrash is the ideal film to zone out and just go with it, whatever it is...

Rated: 3/5

Birth.Movies.Death.

Heartless and sexless (despite Munro's bondage gear outfit), the drama and excitement has been sucked out of everything it's borrowed from Star Wars.

IGN DVD

The single greatest sci-fi camp fest ever put on celluloid. This film boasts the perfect blend of goofy cheese and unhinged imagination.

Rated: 10/10

Parallax View

... both the most ridiculous and the most irresistible of all the Star Wars knock-offs of the late seventies and eighties.

This isn't a bad movie like The Switch or Grown Ups, where even once is too much; this is the type to be savored again and again, like a patented Ed Wood mess-terpiece.

Rated: 1/4

Until now there hasn't been a camp science fiction movie I have given up on, but Starcrash is a hard pill to swallow. It's just too incoherent and frustrating to be able to enjoy even in an ironic way. Absolutely nothing makes sense on any level, and it comes to a point where you start to wonder if it's simply worthless on purpose. Either way, I'd rather spend my time on something else.

It was poor in all areas. I could not finish it, needed to pull weeds.

Cheesy, corny, and SERIOUSLY bad, worth the watch once if you like the cult classic Troll 2!

Weak Italian rip-off of Star Wars gets one star for the best effect in the movie, Caroline Munro.

Action-packed B sci-fi with bad acting bad dubbing bad effects but with lots of effort. A for effort.

I'm guilty of enjoying Caroline Munro's beautiful image on film. Apart from that, this movie was a dismal waste of time. Surprising that Christopher Plummer was in this. No plot, no writing, no acting, rudimentary low-budget SFX. No explanations for any movements in the story. Spend your time elsewhere.
