Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Nov 4
1.5/4
This isn’t a wretched movie like Dirty Grandpa 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. Go to Full Review

... 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... Go to Full Review
Andrew Todd Birth.Movies.Death. 09/01/2019
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. Go to Full Review

10/10
The single greatest sci-fi camp fest ever put on celluloid. This film boasts the perfect blend of goofy cheese and unhinged imagination. Go to Full Review

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

Sebastian L Sep 24 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. See more Mike W Jul 12 It was poor in all areas. I could not finish it, needed to pull weeds. See more xpig332 B Jun 21 Cheesy, corny, and SERIOUSLY bad, worth the watch once if you like the cult classic Troll 2! See more George M @Milkyway Jun 15 Weak Italian rip-off of Star Wars gets one star for the best effect in the movie, Caroline Munro. See more pontem l 01/01/2024 Action-packed B sci-fi with bad acting bad dubbing bad effects but with lots of effort. A for effort. See more David R 09/24/2023 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. See more Read all reviews
