UK, 1981

Reason to see: Scifi Fun

This is probably the third time I've seen this film, and I still enjoy it. Usually described as space western, and I believe that fits. Not as literal as say, Firefly though. Although made in the early 80's it still has that 70's feel in terms of people looking like.. people not 'stars' and 'models'. Sean Connery does a great job, the story is interesting, and good blend of action and tension.

Shannon's Overall View:
I quite enjoyed it
I have and will watch it again
I would recommend it
