That's part of the charm and the joke of it. It's supposed to partially make fun of science fiction movies, and it's supposed to be a bad science fiction movie in itself. That's William Shatner's style, and if you can look through trying to take it completely seriously, you can catch the inside joke of it.
But, it's not all just a joke. It includes some interesting special effects, camera angles/lighting, ideas, and has an "alien life form" that can exchange its essence into all sorts of receptacles. I liked it quite a lot, but then again, I like weirder, offbeat stuff. I still love things like Howard The Duck, and Killer Klowns From Outer Space, no matter what anyone says.
