I liked the part with the giant octopus.
A fun little movie, full of fantastic visuals and creative concepts. I loved all the machinery that looked like moving cardboard props. That bit where the train derailed was wild as hell.
You simply don't get movies where people walk around on the surface of the sun but still end up frozen solid moments later these days. Even if you did, it would probably suck compared to this.
Good stuff. Well worth checking out if you have twenty minutes to kill.

Remembering Leonard Nimoy 26/3/31 - 27/2/15
Yes, it's true (I have witnesses) that I had to lie down after meeting him!
Arguably the best thing he ever did. The play "Vincent" about Vincent van Gogh with Vincent's brother Theo (Leonard) reading letters from his brother.
The 1972 British film "Baffled" a pilot for a (very PG) series - unmade - about the occult. He's unbelievably handsome in this and was obviously poured into his jeans!
AND a fan favourite. Leonard as the magician Zastro in the Mission Impossible 3-parter "The Falcon". Just love the swirl of the cloak!

Please settle this debate, my partner and i are fighting about this hard. I will refrain from saying some of his comments about Star Trek, but he's CONVINCED that Vader would win, on his own, against the entire Borg Collective.
