Post-Star Wars high-camp reimagining of the famous Alex Raymond sci-fi comic strip. Ming the Merciless, Emperor of the planet Mongo, terrorises the Earth; a mad scientist, a football player and a travel agent rocket themselves into space in an attempt to make him knock it off.

One of those movies where the ostensible leads are the least well-known people in it - everyone else has a great time overacting: the gold medal goes to Brian Blessed, who steals the entire movie as Vultan, Prince of the Hawk People. Visually lavish, with a strong script, lots of well-staged action for younger viewers, and tongue-in-cheek jokes aplenty for older people who ought to know better. Point knocked off for some inappropriately nasty violence; put straight back on again for Queen's soundtrack.

I absolutely LOVE this game. I had never played any in the Twilight Imperium series before this, though I hear it is much more streamlined than 3rd edition.

I have only played this game with 6 people and hear it plays best with these. We typically ban playing with the Jolnar and the Sol because they are SO much better than the other races. Depending on your selection method, you may also want to ban the Sardak (because they're so much worse than the other races).

If people haven't played before, it will probably take you a good hour to explain the rules to them. Either way, it will probably take you about 8 hours to play with 6 people, so plan to be playing the whole day!

I like instagram as it is an easy way to see the exciting things people around me are up to. Its algorithm isn't too bad, at least for me it shows me everything posted by people I follow in time order. I find it a good platform to have Q and A sessions on, and it is easy to use.

The costumes and time period are great
Really feels like actual people
I really enjoyed this series, the characters are interesting
What's great about watching history play out is feeling like you understand it better thru people and how they see and deal with it. This series does it right. Even if you don't like "Spy" movies, this is about the people and what choices they make or don't make, the things they do to further the history or follow the tide that pulls them. I also feel like it doesn't just focus on the big names we know like Washington, this focuses on the locals in a small section, but influences the greater part. I really enjoyed the first three seasons and I'm now working on the 4th.

"The same could be said about The Matrix movies, all three. A lot of people will be like, “Well, no, just the first one, because the other two weren’t to my fancy.” I liked all three because I like the entire story. What a unique concept that the world is completely fake, and amazing to think that machines could be running things, as I sit here and talk into a machine recorder. It’s just a really forward-thinking concept. I thought it was wonderfully done, and certainly a movie that, from an effects standpoint, changed the way people made movies. It’s one of those movies where people were wowed by the effects, but I think they took a back seat to what a wonderful story it was. It was such a fantastic story."
