I've certainly found that mood/circumstances/the companion you watch it with can have a big impact on one's enjoyment of a film. These days, I usually try to give a film a second chance, unless I really loathed it. Sometimes, I'm like, "Nope, this film isn't for me" but most times I end up liking it better than I thought I would.balyienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13785839636620293326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2074838946965393539.post-79199236348894134312017-05-13T18:26:57.299-07:002017-05-13T18:26:57.299-07:00I watched this in the theater (maybe the one in Qu...I watched this in the theater (maybe the one in Quincy?) with college boyfriend John. (Although by then we were both post-college). We didn't like it, finding it too overly dramatic. <br /><br />I've wondered, off an on over the years, if I would have a different opinion with a re-watch. College boyfriend John tended to be pretty judgmental and poo-poo popular fiction. <br /><br />Between your glowing review and the high ranking on the Sci-fi list, I might take another look at this film. <br /><br />A lot of the visuals are still clearly in my head after 20 years, so that's saying something.Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07967372439743853589noreply@blogger.com
