Brilliant and meticulous execution of a great sci-fi story, with meditations of evolution of humanity, how the first step on evolution was achieved, and what would be kind of a first contact of mankind on the space exploration as imagined to be on 60s. The special effects, photography and music still hold on very well. What a movie :-) What a movie :-) I remember on not understanding on a first view, when I was about 12 years old. But…
What a joy to watch the main character on extreme pressure. Richard Gere does a marvelous job here. It shows us an millionaire on the edge of losing everything, on maybe even going to jail. He has to play all possible cards carefully to sell his Company, hiding high debts, commiting some frauds. In parallel, he has great problems to deal with when a car accident happens while driving his mistress. There is no action here involving car chases, guns, and this is very good. All the suspense is on watching the Gere character's decisions and how they are made.
Great great photography. The plot is kind simple, and it does not seem to be the main target of the director. It deals with ideas on losing paradise, on losing the balance with nature as reflection of the characters erractic behavior. Great great photography I say again.
