So many films made in the '80s were set in the future, so many films made now are set in the '80s. I'm the first to call out the bollocks of that decade, and collective false memories we seem to have about it, but at least the films back then were a little more, I dunno, exploratory? Not just in the literal sense in this one's case, being set in space, but films in general seemed to have a greater range of themes?
No, that doesn't sound right either. Level playing field, perhaps? Now, anything that isn't from fucking Marvel Studious or released with huge Netflix promotion seems to get overlooked. Whereas back then, a well placed poster in a VHS rental shop could (locally at least) set a film on fire.
No, not really sure what I'm on about here. Difficult to articulate a vague thought very well. Well, I can't today it would seem.
But, yeah, it's a silly space monster film. If that's your thing, you'll probably like it.
