the examiner Wednesday April 1919 11 entemmment Buck Rogers Gil Gerard left and Princess Ardala Pamela Hensley star in new film about the American space hero Space fantasy no match for Star Wars appeal By STEPHEN lAllIlt Of The Examiner Forty years after making his first screen appearance in it part adventure serial Buck Rogers is back The American space hero played by Gil Gerard in new film showing at the Imperial was one of the first in long line of science fic tion heroes who entertained au diences around the world 77 first in comic strips later on radio and finally in the movies The new Buck Rogers film is playful fantasy about an astronaut who leaves Earth in 1987 and returns five centuries later after an accident in space freezes the life support systems in his spaceship Rogers quick ly becomes involved in nasty plot by the Draconian dynasty led by the evil Princess Ardala to launch sneak attack against Earth The plot makes the film sound suspiciously like re make of Star Wars the icorge Lucas space fantasy that set box office records few years ago And the similarities dont end there 77 Buck Rogers is also filled with dogfights in space glittering costumes and cute robots who tell jokes with the tithing of good standvup comedian And the film follows its comicstrip plotline without creating the kind of excitement that made Star Wars so enter taining Star Wars was comic strip movie too but it oftered more than fancy special effects BARBRA WAS PENNY The 1968 movie Funny Girl was Barbra Streisands first film and technological wonders the story appealed to kids and adults alike and the ini aginative vision of Lucas gave the film freshness and vitality usually lacking in films about space adventurers robots and villains dressed like refugees from some Egyptian royal dynasty FLNNY HEROIt As Rogers til lerard tries too hard to be funny and heroic at the same time hes trap ped by dialogue that clanks through scene after scene with only the occasional flash of wit or intelligence Even scenes that might have brightened the film with satiric good humor Rogers demonstrating 20th ceir tury dancing at reception for the princess fall flat because Gerard
