What the fuck, I watched that a few days ago out of nostalgia and someone posts this on 9 gag? Weird coincidence. Or the algorithm worked its magic again ? Anyway, yeah, the effects are good. The story is average. And yeah, miles better than the slop we get now.

Fun movie but in no way a "masterpiece". People need to stop throwing around that word
