Carpenter’s feature début is a rollicking, anarchic trip into space that merrily debunks a host of other space movies, notably 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY. Four bored astronauts try to fill their time between planet bombing missions by catching up on their tans using a sun lamp, conversing with their female version of HAL and space surfing.
