I criminali della galassia (1966)
SO BAD IT RATES!
Lasers that act as flamethrowers and need to be reloaded. Models on strings repeated ad nauseam. Acting that's so wooden it's full of knots. Discontinuity instead of continuity.. So many jump cuts the movie literally jiggles. You never get a sense of place and if a wall needs changing or hiding they throw up a curtain. This is likely the worst sci fi movie ever made with a script to match, never mind the 60's sexist treatments of both men and women. "In here is my private hell" a cell containing all human failures apparently for 20 years of experimenting. Together? Which idiot scientist would do that? Apparently the ones in this deplorable movie. But it's fun to watch.

A marvelous movie
I was born in Holland two and a half years after the war but its residual effect had a major impact on my family, my life. This movie moved me tremendously as it seems to capture the ugliness of war, the nazis, the collaborators, the average citizens who became heroes and traitors. I had no idea Cate Blanchet was such a convincing actress. Bravo! Michael Gambon's face speaks volumes, Billy Crudup is superb. The movie filled in details of my life I've never experienced.
