Voyage Of The Rock Aliens (1984) ***1/2

Unmistakably a product of the '80s, Voyage Of The Rock Aliens (1984) doesn’t make a lick of sense, but it provides plenty of mindless fun. Combining sci-fi, new wave, rockabilly, dance numbers, and a weird cast, VOTRA doesn’t quite click—owing to its undercooked “kitchen sink” approach (seriously, this might be the most random movie ever made)—but it has an undeniably goofy charm. I liked the film even more on a rewatch with an audience. Incredibly entertaining trash.

Recommended for fans of Phantom Of The Paradise (1974) [review], The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975), and Earth Girls Are Easy (1988) [review].
