I don't begrudge anyone's fond memories of seeing this years ago but, please, this movie is really bad. It's the kind of movie that would go well on Mystery Theater 3000 or whatever that show was where these guys in the front row make rude remarks about the movie on the screen. To have someone say that this was good sci fi must mean that that person had never seen something like the original Day the Earth Stood Still. That was good sci fi.
