Chaos in the Cosmos!

Overview

A NASA spacecraft proves Einstein right when, traveling faster than light, it ends up near King Arthur's Camelot. On board are big-hearted Tom Trimble and Hermes, the look-alike robot he built. Tom immediately makes friends with pretty Alisande while becoming enemies with the evil knight Sir Mordred. It seems Mordred has joined up with the Sorcerer Merlin and they are both up to no good. It is now up to Tom to try and use 20th century technology to foil their plans.

    Average. I don't like or dislike <em>'Unidentified Flying Oddball'</em>. It features a cool concept, but the film never really gets overly intriguing while the cast are rather plain and uninteresting. Dennis Dugan never really works for me as Tom. I feel his character is way too content with what occurs, especially at the beginning - no surprise, no shock... nothing. That's odd to me, given what occurs. Jim Dale, who is excellent in 1978's <em>'Hot Lead and Cold Feet'</em>, is underwhelming. Kenneth More, meanwhile, is alright as King Arthur. In a word, forgettable. Glad it only lasts ...
