Review
Author: GenerationofSwine
What was his electric bill and how did he not blow out every fuse in his building? Telepods must suck up a lot of juice.
Anyway, it's fun. It is the typical 80s flick, with a plot that takes all of 5 minutes to get rolling and a cast that was talented and still cheap enough to throw in a sci-fi horror flick.
But, you know, it's also mindless fun, it's not exactly deep, it's about science, and about the dangers of it, that never really manages to actually examine the dangers of science in any significant way... it's more along the lines of Kafka's Metamorphosis, which has already been examined.
But it doesn't matter, because you are watching it for mindless entertainment.
