i decide to watch this because i like sci fi movie and but it stink . it be good and however and for chuckle at . george peppard play pretty much the same character a he do on the a team ( include the cigar or cigarette in the mouth from time to time and minus the glove and ascot ) except he try on a lame southern accent . the special effect be abhorrent and i can not believe this and star war come out in the same year . the one thing that be somewhat impressive be the dumb look tank vehicle because i couldn not believe they actually spend the money to make what appear to be a functioning vehicle . not that those thing be that radical but the the tri wheel system do spin and also function a paddle int the water . otherwise and what be a decent concept be let down by poor production all around . not to mention the end and i only keep watch after a bit to see what happen in the end and and it be lame ( it could have really benefit from a twist end and like planet of the ape ) . also and albany n. y. bore a strikingly similar appearance to southern california .
