This is an anti-"space opera", a seemingly mindless and unaware camp/spoof. If you were born yesterday (after 1980) you will likely be bored OR enthralled with the kitschy throwback to a yesterday that never will be. It's not "funny" , has no "adventure", lacks any "drama", and dwells on it's own "irrelevance". Just like the 1970's. It's a metaphor for the spastic reaction to the horror of the post JFK, post Vietnam malaise of America. It was a very sad time.
