( possible spoiler ) i have just watch this film for the first time . on dvd in a nice widescreen presentation and oh dear i waste my money on this one . the problem with this film be that there be so many great actor involve that they only get a small amount of screen time each and make it very hard for the audience to really care what happen . this be a shame a the story be a noble one . also this film be one of the most boring to sit through and a nothing really happen and even in the last few minute . only a brief scene with faye dunaway in black leather knee length boot pique my interest and an inappropriate scene for such a film and but much need and wow what a beautiful woman . the whole film feel flat and from the direction to the non existent pacing and at no time be there any sense of tension or intrigue and atmosphere or excitement . the dialogue should have be far strong for a film of this kind and with real emotion fire off aboard the ship . instead there be a general feeling of go through the motion with little regard for any prospective audience . no one be bad and but a i say no single actor except for maybe max von sydow have enough onscreen time to develop their respective character beyond more than an outline . at best you will be play actorspotting and think about have too much of a good thing for too little time . my score 4 or 10 .
