Pretty sure this wasn't the first time I've watched this but I didn't remember anything about it. All I can say now is that, while it may have been a blockbuster when it was first released, it's VERY dated. The acting was very sub-par on ALL parts (sorry, Kurt; I loved you in The Thing but you seemed to kind of "phone it in" in this one) and the story was so completely unoriginal and just goofy that it was hard to watch (again, by today's standards). The ending was very predictable - right down to the 00:00:02 left on his "digital" watch (the size of a mini-fridge that somehow strapped around his wrist) - and really the only thing I can think of positive about this was the small part played by Ernest Borgnine as "Cabbie". This really was just too outdated to be considered "good".
