Wife really doesn’t like science fiction, made her watch it anyway. “Trust me, it’s great!” She was engrossed! The plot and acting really has the viewer questioning what’s going on. We all know what happened, but it would be interesting to experience it again for the first time.

One of Schwarzenegger’s better acting roles. You can feel his desperation and confusion, his second guessing himself.

Thoughts on the new one? Only saw it once, liked it at the time, haven’t felt the urge to spin it again.

    Weird to see no mention of the original book. It was very good. I read it before the movie came out and still enjoyed the movie.

      Reading it again right now! So far it’s word for word, scene for scene. Keep expecting it to go off the rails vs. the movie. Nope. It’s almost like a screenplay.
