    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      This movie has a notably "misty" look, blurring colors and detail. Though this movie has never been released on DVD, Blu-ray, or high-definition streaming, this was a deliberate choice by the producers, director, and cinematographer. They wanted to depict a "dream-like" state in an era before high-definition home video was even possible, much less affordable.
    • Quotes

      Audrey: D'Brannin, this is farcical! First, no research ship, and now a hologram instead of a crew? I don't operator like this!

    Very 1980's.
    So if you like cheesy 80's music, TV and movies, then please see this. Otherwise, just pass. It really isn't that good. The cast is fun with Catherine Mary Stewart and everyone's favorite 80's rock star - Michael Des Barres. And there is some decent effects and atmosphere to spare. But it looks like 'Robert Collector' was going for a Michael Mann style look and just came up short. Again, good for 80's nostalgia. But that's kind of it.
