It popped up on my cable "on Demand". Why yes, it is a lot like an un-funny mystery science 3000.
Do we like this film?

Do we like it... well... it's definately vintage sci-fi. Taken on it's own merits, for what it is, it's a "good" film. It's not in the same category of good as Blade Runner, Alien, Outland or other vintage SF films from the late 70s early 80s, but it's okay.

Having said that, I probably wouldn't buy it on dvd.

Wait, actually, I think I did from the bargain rack. :)

Man! I haven't watched that film in ages!

I remember it being on tv all the time in the early 80s! If I watched it from beginning to end today- I might not like it as much as I did back then.

The robots were pretty cool- they ended up being the inspiration for R2-D2 no?

Had a little too much of a hippy vibe though.

I enjoyed the film and I got sad. :cry:

I really liked Huey, Duey & Luey (sp?)

Bruce Dern was very good, and pretty handy with a shovel as well!
