[QUOTE="rbingham2000, post: 1256482, member: 12947"] Ah yes... According to what I've read about it from the net, the movie was meant to be some sort of haunted-house movie in space, with the ship itself looking much like some gothic cathedral, and the interior looking like some dark medieval dungeon when the lights go out. It's not exactly a sci-fi fan favorite, mainly because of Weir's wonky FTL theory and the theory of a lot of fans that it ripped off ALIEN to some degree. Still, with all its flaws, the movie creeped me out in my late teenage years. I really loved [SPOILER]the freaky look Weir takes on for the final battle in the gravity chamber[/SPOILER]. Some memorable quotes: MILLER: Smitty, have you seen...anything unusual at all? SMITH: No, I haven't seen anything, and I don't [i]need[/i] to see anything, sir. But I can tell you...[i]this ship is f**ked[/i]. WEIR: Thank you for that scientific analysis, Mr. Smith. SMITH: When you break all the laws of physics, do you seriously think there won't be a price?! D.J.: Look, if what Dr. Weir says is true, this ship has traveled beyond the boundaries of known scientific reality. Who knows where it's been...what it's seen...or what it's brought back with it? MILLER: From hell. WEIR: Hell is only a word. The reality is much, much worse. [/QUOTE]
