This was one of my favorite movies when I was growing up. It seemed so strange when it was first released in the theaters because it was so different, so dark, from Disneys other movies. The trailers were all really dark and spooky. Oh, and I think the spaceship models look more real than the stupid CGI anyday. Hahaha. ;-) Seriously a good movie and a must-have for any sci-fi buffs collection. Thats just my take on things.

A great score and some special effects that hold up pretty well make this movie a must see for sci-fi fans. I found the robots amusing, the action exciting, and everything else that makes a space opera worth seeing.

This movie was boring when I first saw it as a kid in the theater, and it is dull and uninteresting now as an adult. The plot never draws you in, you never care at all about the characters, and the tension is never resolved satisfactorily. Very talky, bad science even for the time, includes cutesy robots, and personality affect as flat as a pancake.
