Gotta admit, I was disappointed. I finally got around to getting this out – have been meaning to watch it since it came out, was feeling like a traitor to both my generation and my scifi nerdy compadres – but it just wasn’t that good.

It was too short, I think. There was pretty much no character development, and that was a serious defect for my mind. There was little to no explanation of motivation for various actions… really, it was just a bit painful.

I also spent a large slab of the movie (at 90 min, that’s not such a long time) trying to figure out why I knew the name Henry Rollins, who has a part. And then I realised that he was in music, and tried to remember what band he was in… and then J pointed out it was the Henry Rollins Band… oops.
