Viewing Notes
One of the downsides of watching so movies in a compressed time I often forget movies that I’ve seen. This is one such example. I viewed back in 2011 but viewing this movie this evening I thought I was viewing for the first time. Yes, much of it was familiar but not enough to declare, “I’ve seen this!” So weird.
More weird is that I really like this silly movie. So more surprised by my error. It’s very dry and mostly drama except for the constant screaming about the strange signals the space crew is receiving. But when they investigate the mysterious alien planet and encounter the evil robot is when it hits the mark. I’m sure I will view this again. Hope I remember it next time!
