Holy Crap!  Have you seen this movie?  I cannot begin to tell you how bad this movie is.  I mean, it's just terrible all around.

Acting:  Terrible
Writing:  Terrible
Catering:  Terrible
Makeup:  Terrible
Post-Apocalyptic Grunting:  Terrible

However, the movie is so incredibly preposterous that it launches straight into unintentional farce.  This movie is funny the way the Special Olympics are sometimes funny; the people involved seem to be really into it, but watching from the sidelines things seem more than a little silly (no offense to Special Olympians, you are way better than this movie).

Favorite parts of this movie:

  • Stone-age humans comparing learning how to fly a Harrier Jump Jet to learning to ride a horse.
  • Said stone-age humans defeating the alien occupiers with same Harrier Jump Jets (I guess we should have used those during the invasion).
  • People grunting like monkeys.
  • The bad guys believing the lame explanation of why the gold ore is magically being given to them in the form of gold bricks.
  • The grade school machinations of the bad guys.

I know there are more, but it's been a long time since I've seen this movie.  Please, the next time you're getting together with a bunch of friends to watch a movie, pick this one up.  You'll have a great time making fun of it together (unless you're Scientologists, then I'm sorry, please don't try to destroy me).
