One of the worst movies ever made. Crap acting, plot, costumes, set designs, dialogue, character motivation, music, you name it, it sucks.Christopher Lee is the worst. If you're looking for a movie to hate, this is it. A true pile of crap. FX sucks. The scientists wife and daughter sucks, the alien costume with the dragon on it with the silly helmet sucks. Very slow and stupid plot. Who are the people who made this movie? Did they know what they were creating? Maybe they liked it. Or knew it was crap but had to finish the job. In any case. It has to be one of the worst movies ever made. It had a budget. But it was blown on untalented losers. Home movies are better.

Yes, this movie really is worth seeing. Mainly because two big named actors Robert Vaughn and Christopher Lee agreed to act in a film with FX, set direction, and costumes that look like they were slapped together at a church picnic.Really! This is a laugh riot! The plot: Vaughn is a renowned scientist and family man who's having his reputation damaged by speaking out publicly about UFOs. Apparently, Big Brother knows about the aliens and Earth and wants to keep the matter quiet.Like all media the term UFO doesn't mean "Unidentified Flying Object" such a insects, reflections of light, or lens' glare. UFO mean "Extra Terrestrial Spacecraft." Actually aliens are on earth doing experiments at several well hidden bases. But they're so advanced they come in peace and just want to study us. However, evil alien Christopher Lee heads a coup of their bases. Lee's evil alien race used up all their planet's resourced and now wants to enslave/destroy humanity.The surviving peaceful aliens reach out to Vaughn by literally landing on his front yard. Apparently only Vaughn is smart enough to develop a super weapon to defeat Lee.The sheer fact that Vaughn is able to keep a straight face during these scenes is side splitting!!! What the heck was used to blackmail Vaughn and Lee into being in this movie.I'd have to think once they saw the set which looks like a children's playhouse they would be kicking a screaming to get out of there! Some of these scenes are the funniest in motion picture history!

WARNING: SPOILERS CONTAINED HEREIN. This movie is pure 70's drivel & that's what makes it great! You get: Scantily clad alien ladies with their buttcheeks hanging out (whoo-hoo!), Christopher Lee in a ridiculous big hat and leotards (buh-ha ha ha!- poor guy), "mod" "futuristic" space decor, funky electro-swill jazz music soundtrack (that you may be inclined to dance to while watching this- yes, I danced!), the lowest of low-budget laser beam special effects, Robert Vaughn trying to be overly serious wearing a turtleneck, big bald obviously fake-looking alien heads, a space ray that causes earthlings to commit suicide, inflatable pillow-like flying saucers, dialogue spoken with the mouths shut, and oh-so-much more! You want some good laughs, plop down the 30 bucks this goes for on Ebay. It's worth every damned penny!

The film studio responsible for the old "OUR GANG" serials cranked out this science fiction film in 1977. The film, STARSHIP INVASIONS drew inspirations off of the wave of space warfare films coming out at that time. The film tells the tale of a ufo menace to earth that is combated by friendly aliens who ask humans for help. A fun point in the plot is the ERIC VON DRAKEN plot point involving hidden ufo bases and ancient astronauts. I don't believe this in real life it was as I said fun. The film was a good family movie and a great "pop corn and coke" film. The special effects at times were creative and others dreadful yet the film is worth viewing. I if you are into UFO lore you will like this film. The film plays like a modren incarnation of a old BUSTER CRABBE serial.
