Viewing Notes
I tried watching this flick years ago on DVD, but the transfer was so shitty I never got through it. Now, with Blu Ray the transfer is pretty great. Not perfect but better.
The movie, however is a bit of a mess. Sean Connery saves a middling and generic plot…in space!
His performance along with some great practical gore effects are enough for me, though. Recommended for a rainy weekend.
