Initially this movie appears to be a pretty good sci-fi flick, if you consider the fact it is over thirty years old. The slow development of the plot begins to bore quite quickly though, and while the movie moves towards it finale, the credibility of the scenario decreases rapidly. The movie lacks excitement, and the final scene in which a drugged scientist saves himself and his fellows from nuclear annihilation is very disappointing. O, and yes, according to a insane tid-bit inserted into the scenario our brave friend also seems to have saved the planet. Good for him. The special effects are really fly for 1971, but the script writers apparently suffered from really bad cases of writers block while working on the final scenes of the movie. Maybe a good choice for the sci-fi freak, but no fun for the rest of us.
