    Entertaining vintage scfi, a bit ropey in places with the acting and some of the action with the robots. The premise is excellent, a shop discovered in deep space. Reminiscent of 2001, interstellar, and bizarrely terrahawks

    The set designs were ahead of its time, the "action" sequences were not. Fun to watch again as an adult. In an age of endless reboots and sequels, it's a shame they haven't re done this one.
