A truly amazing film that looks very realistic when you consider the technology that existed at the time wasn't very good. These days a lot of people might think it is a bit boring because it does take a while to get going, but I love this film and it is also one of my favorite 80's films too.
Some (most) of the sequels weren't so great though.
With today's technology it would be a complete different film for sure nevertheless it is good. Especially if you watch it more than once and see the story behind it. Thank you for your comment.
