Reviews
Richard Scheib described the film on The Science Fiction, Horror & Fantasy Film Review as a " routine space opera " as well as a " B-movie ". The story is interesting; with a different direction and a higher budget it could have turned into an " acceptable " SF film. Albert Magnoli is a poor director. The camera work is " cheap ", the special effects are " below the standard ". Scheib only praised Michael York, who dominated the film with the " furiously spoken " lines of dialogue.
