It is a B-grade movie comedy film, full of quips from start to finish. However, the battle action is surprisingly robust. In space, the battle scenes are terrific, with both sides mixing and mingling. The politics are sometimes too chaotic, but this can be forgiven because it's a black comedy. The end of the film is sad. It is not funny. It is not a film that will appeal to everyone, but at any rate, it is a film that conveys the director's love for the subject matter he likes and the things he wants to do.
