Review:
An alternate universe where everything seems to be not quite real and you can't help but be dragged along into the joke.
The story is basically a path through a series of sci-fi scenarios. There are aliens, space battles, teleportation, dastardly villains and laser guns.
There are nods to Doctor Who, Blakes 7, and many more. Another reviewer would probably get a different set of references to me, and that's part of its knowing charm.
While the props may be low-budget, the performances are excellent.
Some curse words make it inappropriate for young children (a shame, because it would otherwise be suitable for all ages)
Hilarious but drags out the gag a bit too long.
