Creature Feature gave the movie 3 out of 5 stars, finding the action well done, the dialogue somewhat lacking and the movie to me a mixture of Mad Max. and She: A History of Adventure. Kim Newman grouped the movie in with many others, labeling it repetitive and penny-pinching.^[6] The laser battle between the queen and the high priest was nominated worst special effect of 1985.^[7] Sci-fi Central found the movie cheap and fodder for MST3K^[8] In "The Miller/Romero Connection" the inclusion of the fantasy element was seen as a plus, but little else of worth was found.^[9]
