This movie is an underrated gem. Great story

This movie is an underrated gem. Great story line, seriously would have fit into the Star Wars universe much better than some instalments. It's funny, serious, engaging, and while the level of animation is definitely wanting, once you accept it the characters start to grow on you.

Hey, remember this movie? This year, for the

Hey, remember this movie? This year, for the month of May, or Star Wars month, I decided to add this to the equation like I've done for Spaceballs and both of the Rebel Moon movies. Dear lore, this was bad, as some folks were saying. Although, not a godawful movie, if you ask me. I mean, I've seen worse animated movies. Whether from the past or in modern media, I wouldn't go far as to say that this was an awful film. It's technically a kind of rip-off of Star Wars. Not only that, it does have some of the vibes from Ralph Bakshi's Lord of the Rings, He-Man, and even the Heavy Metal if we're looking at 80s-style animated features. First of all, the animation is a mixed bag. I love the look of the backgrounds and the designs of what they were going for. Although the characters themselves are pretty much a hit-or-miss in terms of designs and what characteristics they were written to have. There are elements of explanation except that not everything was explained very well. Especially with that sword that Orin, the main protagonist, had found in the mine where he worked along with his comrades under the rule of their "god" Zygon. Not to mention the few times when it felt like some segments were cut out. Like I had to rewind on some parts to find out what'd happened like any film critic or animation fanatic would do. Orin goes out on a quest as the new Kha-Khan while running into a smuggler named Dagg, who was delivering the crystals that Orin and his people were mining for, and now they run off. Honestly, the story goes a little all over the since Orin and Dagg are being chased by Zygon's robotic henchmen who are more like bounty hunters. Along the way, they crash landed on the planet, Novalna. Orin was nursed back to health by the planet's daughter of the Governor of Bordogon, Aviana. There was little chemistry with the characters, yet most of them are just bland. Dagg got a little bit of development the more Orin hung out along with his ship, Arthur, and a fembot he reprogrammed called Silica. Not so much with Orin or Aviana since their chemistry wasn't shown at all. I know I'm rambling on and could already be told that this is just your average, cheesy 80s film that you're not supposed to take seriously. You are right on that one. However, this is as much a rip-off of a few projects that if I were to choose one or the other, I'd take the Secret of NIHM or Heavy Metal over this. Like, some of the lore of this animated film's universe isn't explained too well. We get a little bit of such like the sword, the Kha-Khan's before Orin became the new Kha-Khan and Zygon's plan to conquer the universe. Also, some of the dialogue is just laughable, while some others I'd just say are outdated. Come to think of it, I laughed with this movie most of the time with whatever decision some characters make. Some of the logic just has me question like my brain was about to explode. Also, am I the only one that has the say Kha-Khan sounds like a dirty word? When you think about it, it'd be like mispronouncing it as either ca-ca or ca-caw or cacade. Stupid nitpick, I know, but I'm just throwing that out there. The other positive that I can throw out there is the action is fine. Well, the gunplay seems a little low on impression, but I actually like the space battles with the ships. The times that Orin uses that sword, despite the logic that I question, is as serviceable as it gets when needed to get out of a messy situation. Without spoiling anything, the final fight between Orin and Zygon wasn't too impressive. Yet it was fine enough for how you would see the "chosen one" had to figure out. Even when I told the character that he had the blade all along. Seriously, the logic of his movie was weird. Overall, I don't think this is a godawful film. It is bad, but hilariously bad. It had some moments, yet I don't think that I would call this the worst thing that existed in the 80s. I already have specific movies that came from the 80s that are just better than this. I don't blame folks to say that this is either so bad, it's good or so bad, it's bad. This is technically an 80s movie that had its moments. With that said, I'm gonna give it four blood red-eyed man-droid staring into your soul out of 10. 4/10.
