Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for sci-fi fans and adventure fans. If you loved Guardians of the Galaxy or Star Trek, start here. Audiences love it more than critics do: a crowd-pleaser first.
The mood
Exciting.
The pace
Moves along nicely, at 2 hr 2 min.
What might put you off
  • Rated PG: peril. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
  • Made in 1978: an older pace and style.
  • Critics were cooler on it than audiences.

After the destruction of the Twelve Colonies of Mankind, the last major fighter carrier leads a makeshift fugitive fleet in a desperate search for the legendary planet Earth.
