    Peter Strauss, interplanetary adventurer and 15 year old Molly Ringwald team up to defeat the Forbidden Zone - a planet with all sorts of evil beings. I found this a really corny movie, although who knew that Molly acted in science fiction movies?

    Oh, good grief...

    Junky 80's Sci-Fi mess. There are amusing relations between Peter Strauss and Molly Ringwald, but that couldn't save it. They team up with Ernie Hudson to rescue the three ditsy space princesses from the freakish Overlord played by Michael Ironside. It ends up being a cheesy run...( read more)around on a junky planet, with the team encountering plenty of freaks. I did enjoy their run-in with the dangerous tribe of little people. Overall, the junky set design ruins the experience. Amongnst other 80's sci-fi greats, it's very forgettable; perhaps in 3-D it would be more fun. This movie can be safely discarded and no great loss to film history.

    Entertaining sci-fi flick that doesn't take itself seriously.

    I think this is the only adventure movie Ringwald has been in, I don't know why she didn't do more, this movie was really enjoyable, and she was great in it.
