Here's humanoid Richard Kiel and his robot dog Spot who can actually wag his antenna. This is a silly science fiction War drama coming out right after the massive success of "Star Wars", and even if it was planned first, it's still mediocre. Much of it is truly laughable, very cartoonish in many ways, although Richard Kiel's character, described to be a big, gentle and kind man, is quite interesting, going from the big gentle giant in his first scenes to a humanoid out to kill in the middle of the movie than somehow switch over by the power of a child in the third to help the good guys. He doesn't really say much, but when he's on screen, you can't help but look at him.
What Arthur Kennedy is doing in this movie is truly perplexing, on the side of the villains, and he's probably one of the only actors attempting to do any acting. The special effects are decent but the music is cheesy, and I found myself yelling out wise crotch at the screen, most memorably when a computer voice keeps calling out the name Barbara, to which I replied, "Bring me my hot chocolate!", remembering the "Twilight Zone" episode "Uncle Simon". It's not by coincidence that some of the characters look like they are straight out of "Star Wars", although it does make me wonder who ripped off who.
