Reception

Fantastic Musings found the movie to be bad. Salon noted that it was part of a series of B-movie Star Wars rip-offs from director Brescia. Those equally poorly received, sets, props, costumes, and actor-recycled "sequels" are Cosmos: War of the Planets, Battle of the Stars, Star Odyssey, and the adult film-inflected The Beast in Space.
