Rating: 4 out of 10, The latest in my
journey through 100 bad sci fi films stands out because it wasn’t the bottom of
the barrel this effort has produced for the most part. It sported pretty good
production values, credible acting, and a fairly interesting story – all aspects
missing from the previous movies in this effort. Aliens have been secretly monitoring
1980s earth and rebellious alien teenage girls sneak away to experience it.
They run across a hunky, motorcycle riding teenage boy, with an actor who’s
very good, to serve as their guide. They’re accompanied by a three eyed, three legged
pet that was supposed to be the comic relief but that fails pretty mightily.
This was Keenan Wynn’s last movie and he’s in his usual garrulous, old timer
mode which was like seeing an old friend. Not good by any stretch but so much
better than the other movies I’ve been exposed to so far in this march through
mediocrity.
MVP: Ricky Paull Goldin as Dirt (no
kidding) the hunk who’s very believable
