you wait and wait for a smart ending that never comes I can't believe I wasted time and money on this movie. What a waist of good talent on a C grade plot. You can tell they produced this as a favor or payback. There is no point, no ending, no statement or commentary ... totally pointless! The actors did the best they could in squeeze a lemon drop of drama to this train wreck. Hours of my life I will never get back.

All time favorites... This movie captured my imagination at a young age... while it is a thriller/horror film the science is great and the mental anguish experienced by the crew is surreal. It challenges science and religion by mixing them with fictional, albeit theoretical concepts on space travel gone horribly wrong. Well worth the price if you enjoy SciFi and mankind on the brink of discovery.

Underrated Sci-fi Horror Though it begins as a better-than-average sci-fi film it quickly descends into a Hellraiser-esque ghost story. Surprisingly it manages to cross genres fairly effectively. It's visually great, entertaining and really scary for its time.

A Truly Amazing Sci-Fi Horror Thrillride This movie really set me off the first time I saw it. With a combination of amazing science fiction story building and a very incredible story that touches just outside of the realm of possibility, this movie truly shows us our greatest fears. I love every second of this film and despite seeing it many times, there are still plenty of scenes that make me jump.

Terrifying Good grief this movie is scary.. Well done SciFi/horror film. Yes, the overall theme is a bit tired.. But it'll keep you on your toes as well as surprise you with some original plot maneuvers. Terrifyingly suspenseful... This is a film that will stick with you.

not so typically typical watch this movie ALONE and in the DARK. This movie continues to fly under the radar. Probably the most underrated horror film of the 90's. Yes, its a horror film, no questions asked. it just happens to be set in a sci-fi setting. Now, for those of you who like horror films to end with some kind of light at the end of the dark, creepy tunnel, this movie is NOT it. This movie holds you feeling hopeless and helpless til the end. I have recommended this movie to more people than I can count.

He's the star of the show--but he doesn't know. Jim Carrey wowed critics and audiences alike as unwitting Truman Burbank in this marvel of a movie from director Peter Weir (Witness, Dead Poets Society) about a man whose life is a nonstop TV show. Truman doesn't realize that his quaint hometown is a giant studio set run by a visionary producer/director/creator (Ed Harris), that folks living and working there are Hollywood actors, that even his incessantly bubbly wife is a contract player. Gradually, Truman gets wise. And what he does about his discovery will have you laughing, crying and cheering like few film stories ever have.

But as his wife, Diane, and his children, Dana, Robbie and little Carol Anne, begin to unpack and settle in, strange things start happening. Almost playful at first, a mysterious force begins stacking chairs on the kitchen table, or making objects slide across the floor. But the ghostly antics soon turn terrifying as the house, or something in it, starts attacking the Freeling family, and Carol Anne is abducted by evil spirits still trapped on Earth, looking to use her innocence to get into the afterlife. This truly frightening film was written and produced by Academy Award winner Steven Spielberg ("War of the Worlds"), directed by horror movie master Tobe Hooper (the original "Texas Chain Saw Massacre"), Craig T. Nelson ("The Invisibles"), Jobeth Williams ("Fever Pitch") and Zelda Rubinstein ("Sixteen Candles"). MPAA Rating: PG Copyright © 1982 Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc.
