Based on Michael Crichton's novel, a group is assembled to tackle a potential threat from without. Love the ST. With Wise at the helm, the pace is measured, but this suits the story I find. Escorted to a hi-tech facility, the quartet undergo a rigorous decontamination before reaching their goal (a recovered satellite containing the source of the outbreak).
Still works. The group don't all toe the party line, and no mush to get in the way of a gripping tale. Did I mention the ST? About as atonal as Hollywood got imho. Recommended. |
I luv The Beyond, it's like having a fever dream mixed with a dose of food poisoning...that brings you out in a cold sweat..You know whats coming but have no control over the effects of watching it...
