An old cast join to play this sweet and attractive film in which the old stagers return after the young alien contact . The plot deals with some aliens : Tahnee Welch , that seem to live more or less forever , returning to earth after a long absence to pick up crewmen they left in pods at the bottom of sea and threatened by a quake . Intelligent and charming portrayals of the sympathetic protagonists make this enjoyable trip just about worthwhile. All this takes rather a long while to get going and one could do with more of the hot-blooded antics of the elderly trio and the women who share their secret . Although the first hour or so is fairly tedious , but the latter stages are frankly well with some affecting and touching moments . Interpretations are uniformly good carried out by a Hollywood old-star-studded , such as Wilford Brimley , Hume Cronyn , Jack Gilford ,Maureen Stapleton , Jessica Tandy , Gwen Verdon and Don Ameche , all of them giving sympathetic acting who you'll enjoy . And others youngest , such as : Barret Oliver , Courtney Cox, Linda Harrison , Tahnee Welch, and Steve Guttenberg.
It contains a colorful and bright cinematography by cameraman Tak Fujimoto. Long-standing and sensitive soundtrack by James Horner combining synthesizer along with orchestral musical score .
