1	!! The film:
2
3	* AnticlimaxBoss: [[spoiler:AMEE is defeated within seconds by a cleverly prepared trap. It's so brief and sudden there is more tension about Gallagher struggling to remove her battery before self-destruction than with the "fight" itself]].
4	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic:
5	** Music/GraemeRevell composed an absolutely beautiful orchestral soundtrack for this movie.
6	** Music/PeterGabriel's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7SdYvN__vs The Tower That Ate People]] which plays over the end credits is awesome as well.
7	** And before it there is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ee6OFtSY5vU The Fifth Heaven]] with soprano Emma Shapplin.
8	* CultClassic: Lukewarm reviews, massive box-office bomb... and a steady cult following ever since it was released for home media. Later on, endless TV re-runs only helped to cement the status. Plus various set and prop designs ended up having numerous shout-outs and being pretty influential for future sci-fi movies.
9	* HilariousInHindsight:
10	** Creator/BenjaminBratt portraying someone famous [[NiceCharacterMeanActor who turns out to be a]] [[BrokenPedestal total jerk]] [[spoiler:and a murderer which leads directly to his death? [[WesternAnimation/{{Coco}} Yeah, that'll never happen again.]]]]
11	** AMEE could be considered [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E38fpDNWUAoVw2I.jpg:large an early version of EMMI from]] ''Videogame/MetroidDread''.
12	** The plot point of an astronaut stranded on Mars using the Pathfinder lander to hash together a radio transceiver to send messages to a potential rescuer would later appear in ''Literature/TheMartian'' and [[Film/TheMartian its film adaptation]], albeit the process of doing so is much more time consuming, complicated, and explained in detail.
