If you want gloriously campy space-opera fun with a synth-rock soundtrack and zero pretense, absolutely watch this tonight—it's a cult classic that knows exactly what it is. But if you're craving serious sci-fi or tight plotting, Flash Gordon will feel like a fever dream from the 1980s that never quite landed. Go in for the vibes and Ming's scenery-chewing villainy.
