Good special effects for 81, but nothing special for todays computer graphics; one can see the influences in present movie making. The idea is sappy, and the acting is ok, but the effects is what I like in this film. Worth watching, and this film has a message about over development. Ahead of its time. I would give this film a 6/10. I find a lot of the early 80's film quality gritty, this film and the Howling appear very dark on my VCR.
