A Spanish-Italian ET rip-off

Well, I watched this movie at a friend´s home some time ago, we began to laugh almost from the beginning and we didn´t finish until the end. This is the best unintentional comedy I have seen in all my life, special effects are terrible and the filmmaking is still worse( in one scene we are in the afternoon but when the spacecraft changes to the following landscape then we are suddenly at night, and in other scene when the spacecraft stops over the sea we noticed that the waves in water had also stopped their movement, that was marvelous)and there are other many memorable moments here. Apart from that, music is just unbearable and the plot is a shameless ET rip-off only that with religious elements, which was a bit non-sensical because they are pretending that the extraterrestrial knows who Jesus is(quite difficult, I think). To sum up, Ed Wood would be happy to watch this and with this movie José Frade produced his second ridiculous fantastic movie after "Sea Serpent" which was also very worthy as a comedy but believe me, not so much as this. Rating: 2 out of ten, and just because I laughed as never before watching a movie.
