Space Mutiny Movie Review

The giant spaceship Southern Star falls under an attack by mutinous Kalgan, who wants to take everyone to “Pirate World.” Direct-to-video pic alternates between cheapo laser battles in what look like boiler rooms to galactic dogfights with expensive f/x – the latter being entire sequences swiped from TV's Battlestar Galactica (no wonder the Southern Star looks so familiar) retrofitted with lame-o lines like “Surrender or be blown to astro-dust!” Dig the dorky disco scenes in which space cadets boogie with hula hoops. WOOF!

1988 (PG) 93m/C Reb Brown, James Ryan, John Phillip Law, Cameron Mitchell; D: David Winters; W: Maria Dante. VHS, Beta AIP
