I would like to add something to this excellent review of TLS... The movie
gave itself away to me when Robert Preston (playing The Music Man again) was
driving the "car", and, for no apparent reason, took off his human mask. It
was gratuitous make-up stuff; there was no motivation for the character to do
what he did when he did it. That made me realize that the movie was cheaply
put together through and through, and it wasn't likely to get any better.

Nice graphics, no plot, white bread characters, but boy, that Cray X-MP sure
could crank out those frames...
