Buck Rogers In The 25th Century - 1979 - 5/10

Space shuttle pilot Buck gets into a stellar snafu and is deep frozen for 500 years!
Alien conquerors find him, then use him as a ploy to get through Earth defenses.
No sense going much more into this fairly crappy film, pilot for an even worse TV show.
Back in the day, fans were desperate for SciFi, so studios gave us garbage.
This is aimed at non-demanding children, with a clichéd and dull storyline.
Watch Star Wars instead. Came out around the same time and is vastly superior.
Or – check the 1939 serial. While not as good as Flash Gordon (1936), that Buck is better than this.
