Very good movie. The video game which is a sort of follow-up (made many years later) isn't bad though I never finished.

I keep waiting for it to be on clearance at microcenter, but it's still $13 or so. I remember it was at one point $1.99 or something.

Watched it last night, very good movie :thumbsup:










*Spoiler*
















What ends up happening to Kurt and the other guy? Do they stay there and just freeze to death? Or do they use that craft the Doc made under the toolshed?

I have always assumed they froze to death. IIRC the craft was either not finished or was destroyed, but honestly I'm not sure I'd ever considered that possibility.

Any good? Someone recommended it to me.
Its based on a short story "Who Goes There?" by John W. Campbell, Jr.

I still prefer the 1951 version though. But then I have a fondness for 50's sci-fi movies.
