I wasn't planning to write a review as I already lost almost two hours of my life watching this, but then I only found reviews that give the movie 8 stars or more. A closer inspection showed me that these reviews mainly come from friends or.extras. So here is mine.
Light Years Away (LYA) uses the not very original trope of 'dreams come true'. An astronomer discovers a planet in another galaxy and the woman of his 'dreams' suddenly appears in front of him as a hologram only he can see.
She is a big-boobed bimbo, so I deduct that astronomy isn't the main topic he dreams about. Talking about a big bang.
She lives on a dream planet, were she is in love with him, and because he pointed the telescope to her planet she could travel to Earth, ignoring the speed of light.
Her physical body is still on her planet though. If her 'dream body' is not reunited with her physical body she will die. That is the MacGuffin.
Meanwhile the astronomer is sabotaged by a jealous colleague who deactivates the telescope, needed to beam her back to her planet. But in the end, that is completely unnecessary. She is not only a dream, but also a deus ex machina.
None of the actors do a good job,if you ask me. They're too caricatural and one-sided. The sex-crazed side-kick isn't funny. The bad guy isn't dangerous. The situations are totally unbelievable and try to be slightly funny without being funny.
Light Years Away feels like a mockbuster of a movie that could've been much better.
