Reviews
Geronimo1967
There was always a dearth of sci-fi movies on the television as I was growing up, and this one used to appear rather regularly - and rather disappointingly too. It's supposed to be funny, but somehow the humour is just too contrived to make for much to remember as a group of astronauts start their twenty-year mission into outer space tasked with destroying unstable planets. Over time, though, the crew start to question the morality of their quest and coupled with the antics of their pet (looks like a rubber space-hopper) they find themselves facing the ultimate, explosive, dilemma. In it's favour, it is quite short and it doesn't hang around, but the acting is all just bit bland and there's way, way, too much script with little else by way ...
