Great memories

I saw this movie when it premiered because it looked like a change of pace from the usual TV-Movie. It turns out I was right. It is nothing amazing, but it is an inventive, diverting step u from the usual made for TV sci-fi garbage. Dale Midkiff is a winning hero, Joseph Gordon Levitt alludes to the range he would eventually show on 3rd Rock and in 10 Things I Hate About You. The whole package is nicely cheesy and boasts decent special effects. I wish this would get released to video or DVD so I could see it again. I overtaped my copy back in '98. Fun Movie 9/10
