The plot is nonsensical: a lost cosmic lens (the Omegahedron) falls into the hands of a wannabe witch named Selena, played by Faye Dunaway as if she’s in a completely different movie. Dunaway is chewing every piece of scenery in a 50-mile radius, and honestly, it’s the most entertaining trainwreck you’ll ever see.
