Great Sci Fi! If you like Soylent Green and Logan's Run you'll love this movie. I love the future told from 70s style tech.

An amazing and underrated sci fi movie with a real heartfelt narrative unlike today’s sci fi movies

Neat Sci-fi flick with lots of charm and a consistently cool atmosphere. Short on plot but the storytelling and effects make up for it.

An overly solemn melodrama. Dern's acting and a gorgeous production design are the highlights. Aside from that, it was rather forgettable.

Thoughtful scifi with good plot and tempo.

A little too much flower power and not enough sci-fi for my taste.

Pretty good movie with nice 70s sci fi decors and themes. Great soundtrack by Joan Baez.

One of the most underrated Sci- Fi films. Full of heartwarming moments and has the feel of 2001 a Space Oddessy.

Incredible set design, props, practical effects, and cute robots, but a weak plot
