Reviews
“Roland Emmerich commissioned the Munich film school students Klaus Knoesel and Holger Neuhäuser to shoot an international sci-fi comedy at a high technical level. A wish that the two almost fulfilled. Her tricks are good, only the humor follows the credo too single-track: 'We are complete idiots ourselves.' "
“Unsuccessful attempt at a mixture of science fiction and knight film satire. Humor at the level of pubescent jokes and a predictable story lead to increasing boredom. The technical equipment is remarkable. "
