Sette uomini d’oro nello spazio [Star Odyssey] (1979)
(On Cable TV, September 2021) I’m not going to say much about Star Odyssey because I don’t really want to spend more time on it. Director Alfonso Brescia’s movie is a so-bad-it’s-good kind of cult classic, an incompetent and unsubtle Star Wars rip-off (complete with laser swords) coming from the late-1970s Italian cinema scene. The plot isn’t complex as much as it’s incomprehensible, and the production values are abysmal. As with other films of its ilk, Star Odyssey is either charming or exasperating depending on the mood you’re in, and you can guess in which one I was in from the curtness of this review.
