MESSAGE FROM SPACE answers the question: "What if, just prior to creating STAR WARS, George Lucas had removed his brain and replaced it with lint?".
Packed with groovy music, flashing lights, explosions, and insane characters, this is in the running for the most uber-ridiculous of the STAR WARS clones.
See! Vic Morrow dressed in intergalactic pimp clothes! Watch! Grown adults as they hunt for "space fireflies"! Witness! Sonny Chiba in the single most embarrassing role of his career!
If you're expecting a serious science fiction adventure, then you might want to drive an icepick through your pelvis before viewing. That way, you'll already be in agony going in.
Plot? Actually, it's better to simply watch agog and not worry about any trivialities such as a "story line". However, if you must know, it has something to do with a handful of flying, glowing, mystical nuts.
Visuals just happen randomly throughout: Look! Seagulls!
BOTTOM LINE: This movie is a riot! There's no need for any intoxicants or hallucinogens. It's all done for you!...
