To solidify its power, a planet-eater tracks down the only thing which could threaten it, the “matrix of power”, a device passed down from the leaders of a race of alien robots.

This was a deeply-moving movie for me as a child, though this impression was only possible because I grew up watching the original series. Re-watching this as an adult, it didn’t have anywhere near that impact.

Though I do still like it, I don’t know that I can recommend it, not just because it looks “old”, but because it requires so much context from the series. I think for the young these days this would look like a crappy old cartoon with decent, but old, rock music.

In a world where genetics predetermines health, a man with congenital defects pursues his dream of becoming an astronaut.

This is, for me, an intensely nerve-wracking movie. I will definitely keep it in my collection, but I find re-watching difficult.

The Earth unites when plans for an incredibly complex machine are discovered.

I loved this movie, though it’s very soft on the brain. It requires a lot of suspension of disbelief and might aggravate the harder science fiction fans.
