- Science fiction suspense thriller, in which a rescue space ship crew meets up with horrors projected by their own imaginations.
- As a lone spaceship proceeds on a rescue mission, its surprised crew encounters a strange pyramid form. Surprise turns to horror as, one by one, they discover their darkest nightmares all starting to become real. The pyramid has to be behind it all somehow, but how can they save themselves from its influence?
- One thing you can say about Roger Corman films of the 1980's...they really went by quick and had lots of gruesome stuff within them! This one is no exception as this film that sort of has similar elements to the smash hit, "Alien", but also does some things differently goes by quick and is basically a movie where there the dialog is just filler to the next kill! The thing that makes this film a bit more interesting than other films of the like is that every death in it is unique. Everyone gets to die a nice death in this one, with no two deaths being exactly the same.<br/><br/>The story has the old ship looking for the crew of a previous mission because of a distress signal. The crew arrives and ends up on a mysterious planet where they find a strange pyramid structure. They search for clues as to the whereabouts of the crew who came to this planet before them. Unfortunately, it is not too long into this expedition that people start getting killed left and right as it seems that the mysterious planet manifests one's fears and turns them into deadly reality! <br/><br/>Bizarre fun to be had in this one as it may be low budget, but it still looks pretty good. They did a nice job with the sets, it is not surprising that James Cameron worked on this one. The story had something, but it really does not play out all that well at the end. However, the way they made the story makes it so we got deaths that were really different. People being torched, people crushed, people killed by their own weapons and people who die from sex with giant worm creatures! Though I wonder if the woman was killed by that thing, or killed when the crew stumbled upon her and immediately blasted her body which was in a different position after her attack! The crew of this ship had severe problems as every time they encountered a body, they'd blast it! So, basically a cheesy Roger Corman flick of the 80's that had lots of gore, some nudity and a 'what the?' ending!
- As is the case with a slew of Roger Corman-produced films, this flick underwent several title changes -- Mindwarp: An Infinity in Terror, Planet of Horrors, Quest - before settling on the worst choice. When I picked it up, I actually thought it was an old '60s film, as the tape-cover aped some old-school EC sci-fi comics with the names `Ray Walston' and `Edward Albert.' I immediately assumed it was Eddie Albert of `Green Acres' fame, not his son, along with Walston, fighting space invaders in their plundering youth. I was wrong. very wrong. Instead, I got a rip-off of Alien (1979) with a heaping portion of David Hewitt's 1965 snooze-a-thon Wizard of Mars (aka Horrors of the Red Planet), though Walston is no John Carradine! Likewise, Galaxy of Terror is peppered with the `guard duty' slant from The Sentinel (1976) and the Jedi theme of the Star Wars films (seen here as `The Master'), as there's some sub-plot about a long line of guardians or protectors that make a rite-of-passage through the planet's funhouse. There may have even been a narrative of some sort surrounding 'symbolic salvation' at one point before all the gratuitous violence was jostled in! As is the case with Wizard of Mars, our astronauts land the Goodship Quest only to discover the remains of an ancient civilization replete with an ancient pyramid-like structure and horrible, horrible aliens (a giant sexually-charged mealworm, an arachnid, some self-propelling leeches, and an extra-terrestrial that looks like the masked assailant in George Romero's Season of the Witch). The cast is a mishmash of TV personalities, actors past their prime, a few Corman/New World regulars, and a few up-and-coming stars (a trend that arguably began with disaster films like Earthquake and Airport). Erin Moran of Happy Days is fairly good here as a telepathic `biosensor' (and fairly sexy too), as is pre-Freddy Krueger Robert Englund (perhaps the highlight of the film). Nevertheless, our cast is picked off one-by-one by an unknown force that preys on fear (personified in physical form). Most of the kills are pretty lame, and Taaffe O'Connell's big scene with the mealworm is ineffectual as well. Still, the crew is every bit as good as the one in Alien, though there's no Sigourney Weaver here (big difference). Unbelievably, this film helped launch the careers of Englund (who would have become a great actor had he not lapsed into Elm Street limbo) and James Cameron who was the production designer here (perhaps prepping him for Piranha II: The Spawning). Perhaps to Cameron's credit (I guess), the Martian landscape is convincing and the sets and visual effects are great, even if it steals sets from other films (Corman's Forbidden World). Plus, it has a few scenes of cool stop-motion photography (now a thing of the past) courtesy Brian Chin. On the bad side, it's too dimly lit (though the water-slide caverns and Tron-like wall of lights are well captured) and has inappropriate music (which you didn't get in Alien). Lastly, the characters have great names like Cabren, Alluma, Kore, Ilvar, Baelon, Quuhod. It's too bad this film didn't take off and spawn licensing deals, as this crew would have made great space-soldier action-figures, as their back-packs already look like Cobra Commander accessories! All in all, a operative film, albeit not the best I've ever seen.
