Trivia
Was meant to be pilot for a TV series never released and thus has unusual plot-holes.

Alternate versions
There are actually 2 TV prints of this TV Version. In 1989, ITV (Scottish Television) in the UK aired the movie with clearly bright green titles. In 2013, The Horror Channel also in the UK has aired the movie with clearly yellow titles. The Horror Channel print is not as sharp and quite blurry and is overly red especially for facial coloring. This may suggest why the titles appear yellow as excessive red to green can make colors appear yellow as one is mixing two primary colors.

1/10

Never saw a worse sf movie

First of all: all visual effects were really bad. You could even see it was fake, even while trying not to think hard about it. The plot was bad. The point is, we rented this movie in the time Aliens was just on video and we were really disappointed with this one. Well, at least we could a lot. So maybe it's a comedy???
