One of the largest wastes of money ever. More than $33 million was spent on this futuristic version of THE DEFIANT ONES or HELL IN THE PACIFIC, both infinitely superior films. The basic flaw is that its premise is older than your great-grandfather's hat. Earthlings are fighting the
Draconians, warring reptilian creatures that think humans are ugly, somewhere in the far distant future. Dennis Quaid, one of Earth's pilots, has a dogfight with a Drac, Louis Gossett, Jr., and they both crash-land on a remote planet. The two warriors meet and must join forces to survive in this
angry world. The sets are spectacular, though the special effects are only so-so. That so muc...
