Remains a sci-fi classic

Rating: 7/10 (25 March 2002)

The reissue of this film holds up fairly well despite some amusing early 80s references that are good for a few laughs and somewhat date the film. The added couple of minor scenes arent too distracting and the spruced up effects are good.. only quibble is that the removal of the handguns of the guards (and replacing them with walkie-talkies) looks kinda silly as cops are holding radios as if they were guns... Still, the film mostly still works though its a tad slow by todays standards. Still, remains an effective film with good performances and a nice moving storyline. GRADE: A-
