Reception
TV Guide gave the movie one star calling in an underachieving mixture of Revenge of the Nerds and Laserblast The also found elements of RoboCop and the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers but found the movie lacking in original ideas. Moria gave the movie two out of five stars finding the efects poor and the superheros banal. It did find that the tongue in cheek humor occasionally works.
