It's worked out with the style and ingenuity of an indolent slug, making its way across a slab of hot concrete in hell.

All Joe Dante's juvenile space fantasy adds up to is one -- count it -- one lame joke.

The film is overplotted and rickety.

There's a lot to love in the endeavor, but also a lot to endure, with the effort testing patience once the exploratory elements of the script wear off.
