Viewing Notes
Was pretty excited to see this on the big screen thanks to Northwest Chicago Film Society. Have always enjoyed this film especially the final sequence on Metaluna mainly due to the awesome Mutant creature design. What’s funny about this story is that Metaluna is in its last days yet they take so long to finally get there. Before you know that fact the story plods along building the foundation but reflecting back you have to wonder why Exeter would take his sweet time getting them back to his planet.
