midge56 Normally, I don't give out single stars but in this case all the reviewers are correct about this movie. (except the one about pretty girls. None of those on here. Just 2 plain ones).The most glaring issue being the editing with multiple scenes out of sequence which is very confusing. There is no continuity & the director clearly failed to preview the final cut, otherwise the scenes would not be out of sequence. The worst editing fiasco occurs when they are supposedly headed toward a lunar penitentiary on a stolen military vessel (really poor effects for which there is no excuse even for a simple manual overlay) & suddenly are playing cards at a casino and jumps from one erroneous scene to the next before getting back on track.It really has the worst acting & script imaginable. The story itself might be salvaged with judicious rewrites. If the director actually showed up on the set at any point, he could not have been of sound, uninebriated mind. I really mean this. Even with pocket change for a budget, I cannot fathom any sane sober person of the lowest capability permitting the mess on this film. A third grade child could have done better.They actually had one of the characters doing handstands & gymnastics in the background of a scene for no apparent reason. Plus, a totally ridiculous silly looking pair of inane babbling robots arguing about their suicide & silly relationship. We also have a poor man's R2D2.We also have 2 characters with growing hypnotic eyes. I also got a kick out of the Carol Channing comparison for the androids with Star Wars swords and the constipated officer description. Those reviews were on the nose.There was an ending to the story on my copy from the Sci-fi 100 pack. The waffle faced bid purchaser of the earth put our planet back on the auction block in collusion with a side deal with 2 earthlings for half profits. Earth was bought by his hated competitor. Basically, waffle face passed off the troublesome earth to his worst enemy for a 600% profit.The professor solved the silly robot problem by offering to give them capability for a physical relationship. Fully functional in multiple techniques of pleasuring as Mr Data would say.This movie is so messed up & ridiculous & out of sequence with such terrible acting that I cannot recommend it on any level. It doesn't even qualify for cult value. There is also seems to be a character design tie to the film War of the robots. I'd recognize those Carol Channing robots with Star Wars swords anywhere.Perhaps if someone recuts the film & replaces the entire dialogue & voices for the entire cast of characters & adds some CGI repairs plus some new music & sound effects, they might be able to bring this movie up to a 2 or 3 star rating.This isn't a case of low budget issues. This film was botched by pure incompetence, inebriated deliberate intent & total apathy which can only have been the sole fault of the director.

Dylan Greenberg Alfonso Bresica honestly isn't a terrible director. Though this movie had a small budget, it still could have had potential. The main problem with this movie is that all the sequences are, well, out of sequence. Apparently, there was an editing mistake during post production which shuffled all the scenes around. Also, the movie ends in mid sentence which is really annoying. It has kind of a charm to it that you can't get from a big budget movie, and a much more cartoonish and lighthearted tone. I'd say if you're going to watch an Alfonso Brescia Sci-fi movie, then watch Cosmos: War of the Planets, which is a big improvement.

wes-connors "A race of aliens is en route to Earth with the intent of enslaving the human race. The world turns to a top scientist in the hopes that he, and the team he pits together, can come up with a plan to drive off the extraterrestrial invaders. Is there enough time for our hero and his companions to prepare for a fight the will decide the fate of the entire planet?" asks the DVD sleeve's synopsis.Man's first contact with an alien race turns sour when they want to take over the planet, and make us futuristic slaves. "Star Odyssey" (in English) is a another cheap attempt to cash-in on the "Star Wars" success; although it doesn't really steal much story, and attempts some of its own cheesy style. The title and advertising graphics must have lured fewer victims this time around, as there was no follow-up.Gianni Garko (as Dirk) and Yanti Somer (as Irene) manage to keep straight hero and heroine faces. This had to be difficult with lovesick robots "Tilt" and "Tilly" wandering around. The promise to alter their parts, so the mechanical couple would be able to consummate their relationship, is never shown on screen. Alas, it might have made the movie more than a complete waste of resources. * Sette uomini d'oro nello spazio (10/26/79) Alfonso Brescia ~ Gianni Garko, Yanti Somer, Malisa Longo

junk-monkey This is the third "Al Bradly" movie I have watched in the last couple of weeks and like the other 2 (Cosmos: War of the Planets and The War of the Robots) uses many of the same sets, costumes, cast and effects shots. And like the other two it is total and unmitigated crap from start to finish. The weirdness start in the credits when after the "Stars" the rest of the cast in listed in "Alphabetical Order". I don't know what kind of scary arsed alien alphabet they were using but it wasn't the ABC I was taught at school.The plot is straight out of a 1920s pre Hugo Gernsback Scientifiction pulp with strutting heroes, mentally superior super-scientists (complete with beautiful niece), cute robots, an alien overlord intent on enslaving the human race etc. etc.The Alien overlord shows his superiority over the puny humans by unleashing a short montage of Black and White footage of buildings being destroyed in World War 2 - a bit alarming coming in the middle of a colour SF movie. Meanwhile the Earth Government suppress the news that entire cities are being wiped off the face of the planet and turn to the only man who can stop the aliens reducing the earth to radioactive doo-doo and enslaving all the black people he can find.That isn't a joke on my part - the only shots of aliens enslaving people has them rounding up some "African Natives" - though the translators, probably conscious of this blatant bit of racial stereotyping, do go out of their way to get characters to tell each other that other races are getting lifted in vast numbers too.So confident are the powers that be in their chosen Super-scientist saviour he has to illegally assemble his team of Super-scientist helpers by stealing spaceships and springing them from Jail.Even weirder is the sequence about three quarters through the movie in which three scenes that should have been at the start of the flick turn up in no apparent order (Though this may just be on the DVD copy I own -part of a 20 movie box set called Space Quest) when we see the gambler hero in the casino, the auction where "Sol 3" is bought by the Alien, and a scene in the Human control room where the High Command take a break from their "who has the gayest moustache" contest long enough to realise that the Earth is utterly screwed.Aimed at a target audience of retarded 7 year olds.
