I found it distracting when the alien revealed that he was a musician and would need a chauffeur/bodyguard to drive him around the south of the planet but I was happy that they became friends in the end.

Loved it when I was 10. Watched it again to see if it held up. Love it for different reasons now.

I loved this film growing up. My opinion on it hasn't really changed.

I have a soft spot in my heart for Drac, mostly because I had his complexion when I was in high school. Also, I'm sure there's some sort of allegorical connection here with what's going on in the world today, but I'll be damned if I can figure out what it is.

One of the best-told stories I've seen on film. Real conflict and real emotion drives this film, despite the '80s effects appearing a little dated by today's standards.

A little under-rated. I think it got more talk during the 1990's, but by now it is largely forgotten.

So very underrated. Proved that Sci Fi didn't *just* have to be about special effects. The story here is wonderful.

Luna6ix | 86 92nd |
one of the first american sci-fi movies to tie-in sci-fi with drama, and quite well at that. a fresh and original plot, accompanied by a heart-felt story that parallels some conflicts one may see today. i just wish it was a longer movie.

Velvet Crowe | 53 54th |
I dug the premise of the movie but it took the most predictable and lamest direction a film with this premise could take. The survivalist elements were neat in parts, but the two leads were extremely generic and the plot utilizes a lot of lame tropes unabashedly. It does toss a bit of a curveball about halfway through the movie but that plays out precisely how I would think it would. I dig the vintage special effects, though. The monster designs were cool, for what little of it they showed.

A childhood favorite of mine. It is not a particularly good film, but Quaid and Gossett both give it gusto.

Two warriors in the future get stranded on a deserted planet. The alien was suitably weird. Power struggles is a kind way to describe what transpires next. The story is compelling and engaging as the two enemies cooperate in order to survive and eventually develop a bond between them.

QtheAlmighty | 74 46th |
While bad-cheesy at parts and inherently flawed throughout, this film is still very lovable and unique in that the themes hit in this film are hit by this film in a way that only this film has hit them. This film. Hit.
