Review of Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (1979) by Lafe F — 06 Jul 2007
I was wowed by the theatrical experience of "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century" - almost as powerful as Star Wars for us kids!
Having those sexy chicks laying around on the Buck Rogers letters during the title sequence was as sleek and attractive as a James Bond intro - gosh I loved it.
It had everything Star Wars had, even though Buck was a bit of a clown, and things were set around Earth instead of some other Galaxy, making it less interesting.
I thought Twiki and Dr. Theo were the cutest little robots since R2-D2 and C-3P0. I loved the disco dance party on Princess Ardala's ship - too cool! The visit to the destroyed Chicago and mutant attack was neat stuff too.
The end battle was cheapo compared to the Death Star battle; we were a bit let down by that.
I was overjoyed when I heard they were going to be making a TV series out of it. It's all a bit boring these days, but I'll never forget my first wowed impressions.
