There's just something truly enjoyable about movies like this. You could try to enjoy it ironically, but you can't. To enjoy it ironically (even though it means mangling the definition a bit more) you have to enjoy it for the opposite reasons of why it was created. Enjoying a movie that tries to be dramatic as goofy is "ironic." Enjoying this movie is just...well, enjoying it.
And what's not to enjoy? When we last left off, Stellar Star and a robot named L managed to escape from a giant stop motion Amazon robot by falling down a lot and getting rescued by a ship with giant lasers. Obviously, whatever mission they're on, the right crew was picked out for it.
So the journey to recover the rest of whatever survivors were left from that ship from the beginning that we know nothing about continues, and we haven't even had a glimpse yet of David Hasselhoff! Hurry up, movie!

Starcrash: Part One
Every now and again you stumble upon something that shakes you. Maybe it's realizing that a hero of yours actually hates what they do. Maybe you learn that a film or television project you loved was awful for everybody involved. Maybe something you really love was turned into a film by Uwe Boll.
I, for one, had a deep fixation with Star Wars back in the 80's and 90's. I had action figures. I had posters. I had video games. In fact, I still have, buried in a box somewhere, an R2-D2 phone that chirps and bloops when someone calls.
However, I was fortunate to have a lot of my die-hard fixation on the series squashed when the prequels arrived. I still enjoy Star Wars, but it's more of a casual interest instead of being able to rattle off every single planet and alien species. I don't think I could quote the movies all the way through any more.
So, when I realized there's a film out there called Scontri Stellari Oltre La Terza Dimensione, my reaction was to say "huh?" Then I learned that, translated from Italian, it's Stellar Clashes Beyond The Third Dimension. So then my reaction was "oh, huh." Then I heard it was branded for the United States as Starcrash. My reaction was "interesting...but I'm not sold yet."
Then I was told it has David Hasselhoff in it.
Sold.
