In Reply to: Just watched it again with the kids. There does seem to be a "Jesus" connection Scott is trying to make. posted by Enophile on November 8, 2012 at 20:10:04:
ten minutes, through the corporal dissolution scene.
The characters weren't particularly interesting.
The scenes in the interior of the fortress were very good.
The robot guy was cool.
But the rest was kind of stock.
In other words, I liked the more intellectual parts of the story but the director seemed to feel he had to make it more of an action feature and that lowered it far below "2001" or "Forbidden Planet," for me. I'd also include the remake of "The Thing" with those two, as well.
