While watching, I kept thinking "wow, this isn't that bad for the 80's."
I then saw it released in the year 2000.
I had read the novel as a teen and I remember it being at least somewhat interesting. Not Dune levels of worldbuilding or character intrigue, by any measure, but at least interesting enough. It's a shame this movie couldn't pull from any of that.
