It's a surprise that you didn't saw that movie before. Maybe you weren't in the mood. I like that movie, it asks some questions that are still actual, after all those years. And music in the movie is phenomenal.
This was my fourth attempt of watching the movie, in the last year, I fell asleed the first three times.
Which is strange because I like my fair share of Sci-fi..
Don't get me wrong, the movie has its strong points and I'm sure had I watched back when it was first released, I would probably be pleased. This way it felt as if it was all already done before.
Yes, the music was brilliant, even if I personally find Vangelis' work irritating.
