Viewing Notes

A few missteps with the execution and delivery but some good acting by all the principals. Wanted less drama and more sci-fi. Tim Robbins is pretty great tho.


6/28/21 update: found the ticket stub for this… I did not recall seeing this in theater so I am a bit shook. For several years I had regrets about *not* seeing it in theater bc I totally thought I watched on home video. Wow
