I can't add much to this that hasn't already been said in the other reviews.
The storyline, sets, aliens and acting are rather reminiscent of the 1960s Dr Who TV series (especially the Patrick Troughton years), but in colour.
The target audience appears to be directed at older children. The budget is devastatingly low and the dialogue is simple and amateurish.
That's the worst of it. The good points are that the film does not take itself too serious and provides a enjoyable romp through space with visible strings attached. The comic elements are played by Patricia Hayes ( as Mrs Jones the tea lady) and Charles Hawtrey as the visiting accountant caught up in the melee.
The whole mass should provide laughable moments at the simple scripts and cheapness of the sets, with a nostalgic nod to 60s children's British TV programs.
One can't help thinking that Gerry Anderson would have made a better job of it. But the cheapness of it is part of the fun.
