In a far galaxy, the usual space heroes are fighting against familiar tyrant Ron Perlman, when a Battlestar Galactica leftover boy genius sends out a teleport scoop to bring someone to save the day. However, the kid has mistaken Captain Zoom, hero of a 1953 childrens show on earth, for a real superhero, and actor Daniel Riordan blunders through the yarn more concerned about his firm jawline and sculptured hair than overthrowing the bad guys. Despite a few adult gags, its too child-orientated to be really funny or exciting.
