Viewing Notes

Yeah, kinda surprised I haven’t seen this sooner considering the many opportunities over the years. But first time viewing it on Blu was nice; the print looks excellent. Such a tight film with no excess. Cool to see where Outland originated. As part of my Angel Eyes project, it’s unfortunate LVC doesn’t get much to do here but look like a badass. He doesn’t even get a line. Ah well. Still worth viewing for everything else. Pretty terrific cast overall. Lloyd Bridges is such a shrew!
