    Get this movie if you like classic sci-fi

    As a fan of older sci-fi flicks, I enjoyed this movie. Compared to great movies like ''Forbidden Planet'' and ''Time Machine'', it is a dog. But if your expectations are not too high, it is a good sci-fi movie. For the price, I am glad to have it in my collection.

    Great movie!

    This is a very enjoyable Sci-fi! One of my favorite scenes is where the astronauts are outside of the ship during a meteor storm! The effects are very good, the acting comparable. Watch out for the ''Solarites''! Note: Listen carefully to the sounds the ''Solarites'' (or their ships) make during the battle scenes. I'd swear Lucas used this same type of sound for his ''Tie-fighters''. Very Cool!
