Review

A star rating of 3 out of 5.

Alan Jones

Lance Guest's prowess at video games is monitored by emissaries from the Star League of the future, who recruit him to defend the universe from evil invaders in this glossy, space-age fairy tale. It's highly derivative - Star Trek-like aliens have Star Wars-inspired dog-fights against a computer-graphic backdrop - but the sensitive love story between Guest and Catherine Mary Stewart cuts through the cuteness and gives the intergalactic adventures a much-needed boost. Children will love it, especially the fun moments with Guest's android double.
