My Comment: The first time I watched this movie I didn't enjoy it as much as
I thought I would and I am a big scifi buff. I think it was the
constant action and the intensity of the topic with few light-
hearted moments to offset the action that caused it. I was so
amazed at the realism that I didn't take note of all the creativity
that was put into this production. The second time I watched
it I totally enjoyed it and have watched it four times since. I
highly recommend this movie but you might consider taking a
snack break at the times suggested. Remember it's only science
fiction ................. Or Is It?
