mentions another movie which has same plot in my opinion

Rating: 5/10 (22 April 2012)

This picture has the plot line of "The Green Slime" (1969) absent the slime. Check out the original and see. In addition to Robert Horton (who knows who this is?), and Richard Jaeckel (the sergeant in the "Dirty Dozen"), it has Luciana Paluzzi (the lollapalooza from "Thunderball") - be still, my beating heart!! You have the asteroid, the collision course with Earth, the NASA references, and the explosives planted directly by space ship landing to obliterate it. Admittedly, slime is a pretty big element to omit and still consider it the same. The tension between the two male characters is there; however, in "Armageddon", it is because the Bruce Willis doesn't trust Ben Affleck with his daughter, Liv Tyler. The original plot has the two men as rivals for the woman. Special effects have grown exponentially in almost 30 years. All the space ship scenes are models (way cool; I would have loved to have them as toys 40 years ago). The slime is pretty much soap bubbles with food coloring, and inflatable rubber with lights inside. The monster, however, wouldn't even have made it in the TV show "Lost in Space"!
