Standout Aspects

Production

Baz's debut already has his maximalist fingerprints everywhere.

Costume

Fran's transformation deserves its own Smithsonian exhibit.

Acting

Bill Hunter's villainous federation president is pure Australian cinema.

Best for:Date Night: Guaranteed to make someone want to dance badly in your living room.·Friends: Group watch for maximum yelling at Barry Fife.·Rewatch: Better every time you notice another absurd costume detail.
