definitely a sci-fi classic!

Rating: 9/10 (26 October 2013)

Definitely a sci-fi classic. It is very advanced for its time regarding set design and visual effects. I may not have watched it at the time when it was out but I can imagine how it would impact the audience at that time.
It's also filled with gore and violence that will make one flinch. It will also send ones pulse racing as the intense moments filled in. However, apart from all the action there's barely an adept dialogue to follow through making some scenes tedious. Evidently, i guess it's part being a thriller; slow and steady until reaching a high tensioned climax.
Some moments are predictable, coz i guess my generation is jaded by the "horror formula". But for its time i can truly imagine it being praised to be a step forward for science fiction films as well as thriller and horror.
