The title of this review does let you know pretty much exactly what you're in for.This is, despite many flaws, quite a lot of fun if you're in the right mood. Yes, the SFX are clunky, the jokes and visual gags misfire most of the time and the music is pretty weak. The music video with Pia and Jermaine Jackson has precisely no place in the movie's plot, so that's sort of a plus point in this reality.However, the sense of energy and fun, especially from Pia Zadora, keeps the nonsense ticking along and Michael Berryman's chainsaw maniac subplot is amusing. And you could cut yourself on Craig Sheffer's cheekbones.As Eighties sci-fi musicals go, 'The Apple' is easily far worse than this.

This is perhaps the best amalgamation of everything excellent about the eighties. Pure and total destructive insanity. To watch this movie is akin to reliving the eighties only through MTV news updates. There are so many things "right" about this movie. As in, the right stuff. Baby.Rock 'n' Roll is misleading, but it's more like New Wave vs. Rockabilly. And how does that not equal brilliance? Name another film that that happens in please because I would love to watch it.If you do not like this movie you obviously hate the eighties and everything associated with it. And therefore, if you are over 16 years of age you hate yourself. And I am saddened by your condition. Just know that I care about you.Voyage of the Rock and Roll Aliens changed my life. And not just in regards to my fantasy wife becoming Pia Zadora. In many other equally profound ways.If you have the chance, snatch this movie up and give it a viewing.

Let's see... If I were to assemble the ingredients necessary to make a really bad movie - I mean so bad it lowers your IQ to watch - I would list (1) made in the '80s, (2) bad science fiction, (3) failed comedy, (4) lame rock musical, and, uh, oh yeah, (5) stars Pia Zadora. Add all ingredients together in a large (flying) saucer, stir vigorously, and voila! you have "Voyage of the Rock Aliens". That's not "rock" like rocks on the ground; that might've been worth watching. No, this is "rock" like rock 'n' roll. And I mean BAD rock 'n' roll. Did you expect any other kind?There are so many kinds of "bad" when it comes to bad movies, and this certainly isn't the worst movie I've seen. (From what I hear, it's not Pia's worst, either.*) Except for a few moments of unintentional humor this is certainly one of the hardest films to watch that I've come across. It appears to be little more than a Pia Zadora vehicle, and that vehicle is on a collision course with a tree. No, make that a rock. A rock alien, that is.There's a music video sequence that Pia does with Jermaine Jackson near the start of the film that has nothing to do with the plot. It's about some sort of '80s biker-gang-war thing. Man, I'm sooo glad the '80s are dead and buried. Let's make that ingredient (6), shall we? Unrelated music video sequence with the least-popular Jackson. The events in the video are never referred to again, nor do we see Jermaine Jackson again. (There's an "up" side to it after all!)I guess the Devo-like aliens' scenes are the easiest to watch. I mean "easiest" as in "least painful". They almost steal the show when they're on. My niece loves STUVWXYZ (pronounced "Stoovix") the best. He's the dumb one. Well, actually they're ALL dumb. STUVWXYZ is the dumbest. Can you guess how the other aliens' names are spelled?I think the producers were going for a "Grease"-in-space feel, or maybe a "West Side Story"-in-space feel. Hmm... maybe it's a little of both. The turf war between Frankie & the Pack and the aliens is decided by a battle of the bands in the little town of (ugh) Speelburgh. You'll have to watch to find out who wins!-----* Those who know say "Lonely Lady" is her worst. If you expected me to say "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians", well, that one's odd enough to be tolerable once in a while.

This may be the most cheesy movie ever.But it always makes me happy. It shows the 80s in fun and light hearted style.if this movie had came out in 83 or 84 it would have been a hit.
