While a few of the songs are actually good, otherwise this is a 100% horrible film--embarrassing to watch and of great value to bad movie buffs. I think the plot really says all I need to say about it. Intergalactic weirdos (including ladies wearing bug-like antennae) have a meeting to discuss problems on Earth. It seems that an island of rockers and an island of balladeers hate each other and are fighting a never-ending battle through rock concerts! As for the rock, it's mostly third-rate, though there is a great number involving JUST a large group of drummers (lead by the famous Ginger Baker of Cream). As for the ballads, they all are whiny drivel. So, to fix things, agent Wilco Roger is sent to the islands with his magic powers and insipid cuteness. When a rocker falls for a balladeer, you realize this is a sick and twisted reworking of Romeo & Juliet! Too bad, like the original source material, they didn't just kill themselves--now THAT would have been cool! Aside from the insane plot and mostly bad music, you have tons of garish costumes and sets (where the color yellow dominates) and rotten acting...rotten. In fact, there's nothing about the story that is good in any way--and is reminiscent of "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians".
