- Earth was "once mankind’s home." Actually, as the film’s events portray, it still is. So I’m not sure what the point is.
- For a millennia -- give or take, one must assume, writing from the vantage of the year 2001 -- a "cruel alien race" from the planet Psychlo, imaginatively named the Psychlos, has ruled the Earth. The Psychlos are mining our ores, as, we’re told, they’ve done on "countless other planets," and teleporting them back home. Imagine the surprise of the environmentalist crowd upon learning that the Earth could be ruthlessly strip-mined for a full thousand years and still be coughing up valuable metals.
- Gold is the rarest and most valuable metal of them all. A universal constant, I guess.
- The remnants of the human race, living in "radiated areas," are "on the verge of extinction." Yes, that’s what living in radiated areas for a thousand years would probably lead to.
No man man has greater love than this, than to sit through a bad film and review it for a friend...
well Gold is a useful metal -- beyond for show.
