Saucer-eyed alien clone with GI Joe hair, seeks earthling's help in saving her dying planet. I liked the Humanoid Woman, the way she walked over grass and jumped on chairs and turned invisible and dodged bullets. I liked the boxy robot who could suck a watermelon through its bottom and had to hold onto its head so it wouldn't fall off (Both big-time missed opportunities). And I thought Josh got off some nice riffs, as in a scene when a woman tells the pilot to "Get a hold of yourself" and Tom responds... "How can I steer the ship then?" I wish this would have received the msting treatment in the sci-fi era as this surreal movie would have fit in quite well then.
