It uses a polyethylene ceramic. I wonder if it will have the same problems as was recently found with PET (don't ask me to pretend I know what the T is for but PE is polyethylene). That tape is supposed to be an insulator but breaks down to cause battery shorting. Lots of battery stories lately and definitely progress but hard to tell when batteries will be as durable, available, and affordable compared to expectations raised in these articles.

Battle Beyond the Stars probably got made because of the success of Star Wars, but the story is a rip-off of Seven Samuri. Other movies that borrowed from Seven Samuri include

-The Magnificent Seven (and rides again)

-Bugs Life

Given how good some of these are and how poor Battle Beyond the Stars is, it depends on quality which is a rip-off and which are just remakes.
