Pretty good for a Full Moon film. Check out the lovely Helen Hunt in an early role, too!

Visible boom mike! It's really low budget and the plot's full of holes. There are stretches of boredom here and there. The basic premise isn't explained very well at all. I also got a big laugh out of the concert scene where the music stops and everybody keeps dancing. Go sound editing! On the other hand, it's got a fun, unique story, and the acting isn't bad at all. I can't say it's a good movie, and yet I enjoyed it.

Surprisingly good for a cheesy 80s low budget sci-fi film. Some moments are unintentionally hilarious (such as the awkward slow motion time stop sequences), but overall it's an entertaining film. It also gets points for randomly taking place during Christmas and including a scene where a punk band plays their version of Jingle Bells.

Not really that great, but warrants commendation for a virtue not usually seen in *any* kind of film, much less a B sf/action picture: as Duncan Shepherd put it, "the intention not so much to be downright funny as just not to be altogether serious"
