Many film fans would appreciate the director Mel Brooks's attempt to make an ultimate sci-fi encyclopedic spoof; they may only wish the acting was better. Spoof films may have tolerance for deficiencies on some technical aspects--for example, cinematography may not have to be fabulous; but acting can never be poor. Spaceballs may prove that bad acting makes any type of films unbearable.
Aside from the acting, sci-fi fans would enjoy parodies of numerous sci-fi classic films, including Star Wars, Alien, and Planet of the Apes. Also, the film has probably the best meta-film moment ever made in film history: the scene that the Spaceball crew watches the videotape of Spaceballs, which shows the precisely synchronized scene that the Spaceball crew watches the videotape of Spaceballs.
