I mean, it’s fine I guess. Maybe I just wasn’t in the mood.

More of the same. Fair but not spectacular for some reason; maybe I’m just not in the mood.

The hairy-footed nephew to the town’s adventurer is swept up into the aftermath of those stories when he is left his prized ring.
It’s great for its time, but there’s no way this could have worked were it any other franchise in any other context of any other era. Most things are not explained.

A wild ride of a movie that’s totally immersed in the 1980s style.

A crew of civilians investigates a distress beacon, but it turn out to be a warning that they were too late to heed.
Alien is another “first to get there” movie which has set the bar for its sub-genre.
It has a dirty old-but-futuristic look to it that really stretches its technological and budgetary limitations. As it turns out, this has given the movie incredible longevity. For a movie as old as this, it easily stands the test of time.

A struggling writer takes drugs, giving him incredible results with unforeseen consequences.
This is an uncomfortably-great movie. It’s semi-horror in the sense of a tactile empathy the viewer has. I don’t know that I’d consider this mandatory viewing, because it would strongly depend on the viewer. I don’t think this would be a “love it or hate it” movie, because it’s .. just odd. It’s original, and that alone would make it mandatory viewing for some.
If you like this movie, definitely check out John Dies at the End – (2012 movie).

summary TODO
Overall, the movie has a ludicrous plot.. the main motivation is pretty crappy. Everything else is nice, except for the idiot announcer guy.
