This Italian sci-fi movie was filmed at the same time as two other Italian sci-fi movies--the names are listed on IMDb. While this was done for economy sake, it also made the three movies seem very similar--in other words BAD! I don't know if I have a strong enough stomach to watch them all, but at least taking a quick look is worth your time if you are a bad movie fan.
Now as for the plot, I found it all very confusing and irrelevant. There was something about a mad scientist doing eugenics experiments on people as well as shrinking them. Yeah, whatever. Instead, what I loved was the crazy mid-1960s Italian sets, makeup and costumes. They were so over the top and silly and EXCESSIVE that the film was like what you'd expect if you combined Liberace's home with Star Wars! The blue eye shadow, the vinyl clothes, the silly "modern" cars, etc. were all so laughably bad--making the sets for BARBARELLA look tame and understated!!! The bottom line is that the story and dialog totally stink but the awfulness of the set designs make the whole silly thing worth a look. I particularly liked all the bald guys in sunglasses with four arms as well as at the end when the entire evil lair was destroyed by pink Kool-Aid! A truly bizarre and pointless film that pops out off the screen due to its garishness.
