Review
This film brings Science Fiction, Comedy, and Police stuff all into one. The film has some comedy, but it makes sure to not tip toe the line of dark comedy and silliness. The acting is good, especially from Weller and Cox. The action is good, displaying excellent effects that still hold up after all these years. The plot is decent, setting up the premise and making it work well. Anyway, this film is an excellent blend of all the genres into one film. Now, did the sequels do that? Find out soon on Movie Night (#004 and #006)

Overall, I give it 9 out of 10 stars.
