However, I'm rating this from a 2009 point of view. I'm not giving this five stars because it has some classic 80s silliness in it, and sometimes ends up feeling a bit too weird. It's a great movie, but somehow it didn't blow me away like a five star movie would. Instead, it slowly creeps its way into your head afterward, silently cementing its status as an absolute classic of science fiction.
In a sentence:
Watch this if you've read the book, if you like the 80s, or if you like science fiction. Otherwise, it might be a bit too much for some people.
