Don't disagree with what you said, but I was happy with it even with the colorized... well different shades of blue, sepia etc. Thought much of the music fit... Bonnie Tylor Benetar's songs and that "take blood from a stone" song at the beginning, as well as the part that went with where the robot does a bit of risque dancing. Didn't care for some of Queen's stuff and not sure about Adam Ant's song though. Tangerine Dream would have been a nice addition... Hey, wasn't Gary Newman the guy that did that mod version of "Strangers in the Night"? (I love that thing).Tangerine Dream reminds me of another 80's kinky sf movie I liked... The Keep. Loved the score TD did for that, especially where the soldiers pry the silver cross from the wall and where Scot Glenn comes to the rescue at the end. (don't know why but I loved the movie too... the book had much better forboding and some better psychological tension between some of the soldiers but was pretty lame as far as the vampire bit... at this point the film widely departs from the book. Glad they left the creature an ancient mystery in the movie).
