One of them loved the alien shriek opera freakshow,

She was hot and had a great song so what was to hate about her?

You hate her cause she is blue like a giant smurf right? 😀
 
Classic fun to watch action movie with an engaging plot.

One of the best DVD video transfers to boot, on both the original cut and especially the SuperBit version. Audio transfer was ahead of its time too, although it's been surpassed by other movies since.
 
It does what it does perfectly, its an adventure, its pure entertainment, and most important of all, it doesnt take itself too seriously.
 
I think the movie sucked big time. The sound effects were the same from other sci fi movies and same rundown type of story. Add some forced humor and skaggly characters and you have your money grossing pocketpicking pennypinching useless whore of a movie.
Now you know why people like it a lot.

And this, my friends, is how you pass off as a professional movie critic.

There's a special edition of TFE coming out Jan 11th 2005. Definitely gonna be getting it.
 
I really like it. It's one of the few movies I can watch a few times a year and still enjoy it.

It's got a quirky style and humor that I love, plus some of the best imagery in motion picture history. And the movie flows to a beat that is contagious and fun.
 
Also, the colors. The colors in this flick are so vibrant, in the costumes, the props, the sets, the characters themselves. It's entertaining to the eye. It's a very colorful movie, and is a fresh breath from so many films that are so bland and almost monochromatic these days.
