I have watched this film time and time again and find it more enjoyable each time. Jim Broadbent's is truly wonderful as the W.S Gilbert. This film captures an era wonderfully. Anyone who has access to the DVD should take the time to listen to Mike Leigh's, the director's, audio commentary to get the most from the film. I love this film and recommend it to anyone who loves the words and music of two towering talents, Gilbert and Sullivan.

With some of the most wooden acting ever seen on screen, derivative plot, aliens and spaceships that have come straight from central casting, this film is one you should avoid at all costs. The only thing that keeps your interest are the explosions and that is cleary where the money went.
