It's a rockabilly space romp, often very bad but usually a visual treat.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Fresh
A sui generis, love-it-or-hate-it exercise in homegrown American surrealism.
Hazel-Dawn Dumpert, L.A. Weekly
Fresh
Movies don't get much more homemade or endearingly eccentric.
Gary Dowell, Dallas Morning News
Fresh
It's equal parts creepy, campy, funny, and tedious.
Jim Sullivan, Boston Globe
Rotten
Like a very accomplished student film, amusing and annoying in just about equal measure.
Mark Rahner, Seattle Times
