Well considering I was at least born before the movie was made unlike half of film critics these days, I objectively compare that movie to the time it was made, not trying to compare it to something made "today". I deeply enjoyed the movie when it came out. If I watch it today, sure it seems to be a bit sucky, but dang this is NOT 1986!!! It was a story that no one had come up with before "That I was aware of" and the fact that they made everything auto controlled for 1986 was just awesome. Who would have thought of a lawnmower or steam roller driving by themselves was a complete WOW moment like how did they do that? It is a common thing these days but to see that back then, made it amazing. Stupid critics giving bad reviews for a movie that was made before they were born is just another worthless review. And there are a lot of them. I'm not saying this was the best movie every made, but I enjoyed the story, and the ending not knowing exactly "why". And if you are a person who loves rock n roll, can enjoy tracks by AC / DC. Some of the acting was over done, but to be honest, even the crazy woman that screams "we made you" could be someone real in the world today. Some people may see terrible acting, and I say WTF you think everyone in the world is "normal"? If all actors portrayed a normal person all the time, I think the industry would be boring and unrealistic. So if you are ever in wonder of a semi decent 1986 thriller, watch the movie. But please don't try to hold it up to this century standards like other wanna-be critics do. BTW I'm not a critic.. just a fan of Stephen King stories.
