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. |
