This beautiful stinker deserves a cult following not unlike Rocky Horror. This movie made me laugh out loud, as I hurled insults and (in my mind at least) funny comments. I'm telling you, everyone is watching this movie all wrong.
Maybe it's just me. When I watch Mr. Ed, I don't see a guy and his funny talking horse, I see a sad portrayal of the onset of schizophrenia, in a man who thinks his horse talks to him.

Plot summary
A mere decade after the Heptigalaxial Cosmic Eternity War, the Kingdom of the Seven Galaxies is once again on the precipice of oblivion. The evil prince ADORASTIUS has escaped his icy incarceration and threatens the universe with the most fantastical yet calamitous power imaginable. The multiverse cries out in peril, and the beleaguered hero GALACTIC COMMANDER HELIOS must forge a crew of old friends and new allies to defend the sanctity of the cosmos. Still tormented by the shadows of the past, he must once again breathe the air that smells of interstellar combat. From the tranquil glades of KELVADOR to the perilous crags of GRINDLEBAR, the fate of the history of all existence rests upon the shoulders of the GALAXY LORDS.

VHS-transfer would make it more watchable
Galaxy Lords is clearly an homage to late-'70s/ early-'80s low bud budge sci-fi films, such as the ones made by Roger Corman (Space Raiders, Battle Beyond the Stars). Now, I'm a huge fan of sci-fi in general. And this often includes badly made low budget films. I've watched "2019 - Dopo la caduta di New York" multiple times on VCC/V2000 tape in the '80s/ early '80's (yes there were other video systems beyond VHS and BetaMax) and got a fresh DVD-quality copy about a year ago, so you'll know what I'm talking about.
I'll forgive the bad blue-screen shots, the game-like computer generated environments, the overly clear CGI characters and the awful cardboard cutout stuff for the above reasons. I truly applaud the effort made here.
What makes this truly unwatchable is having to go trough this in crystal clear Full-HD 1080p. Bad '70s/ '80s movies were shot on either really cheap 35mm or (more often) on low-grade 16mm film and you finally got to watch them on a bad video-transfer. Bad picture quality obfuscated bad effects generating greater suspension of disbelieve (you got to watch '2001 a Space Odyssey' in the same quality as 'Galaxy of Terror').
Had this movie been transferred to poor-quality analogue tape, copied from tape to another re-used tape and then been re-digitized, it would have looked more like an early '80s film to me. I may actually have been willing to finish watching the film then.
3 stars for effort.

Absolutely, gloriously terrible
If you watch this as an ultra-low budget B sci-fi then you've missed the whole point. It's so perfectly bad and corny that it's quite clear it's nothing other than a most superb spoof. The badness of everything is so skilfully handled from the so obviously fake beards to the camp costumes. Check out the films Facebook page and you'll realise more people appreciate this film than the bad reviews given here.
