Generic but enjoyable with some nifty low-budget effects work.
By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky FULL REVIEW

The film looks nice but unoriginal (blue light, dry ice, flashing instrument panels); the model work is okay but laboured; the acting is stunningly mediocre.

The plot unravels in unwieldy dollops, and, despite some adequate special effects (for the time), the whole thing is really a bit of a bore.
By Kim Newman FULL REVIEW

It's eye-filling, to say the least, but there's not much tension or sense of danger.
