This adaptation is loosely (very) based on the original story, one I've always been a fan of. The production values and effects are second rate and the script and acting are downright awful in places. Despite those things, I found it likeable. Nicholas Lea (Krycek from the X-Files) does a decent job in the lead and the story is fun engaging sci-fi. Seeing Michael Pare in this one (he had the lead role in the 1984 movie) playing a bad guy was entertaining too. I can see why fans of the legacy might not like it. I chose to see the silver lining.
