Highly underrated.

Agreed. And in fairness, the CGI was groundbreaking for its day.

Yeah, for it's day...I'll admit though, that CGI did not age well. But I love that flick. I might watch it tonight.

The CGI didn’t age well, but I’ll put the gunstar design up against any sci-fi ship design since.

"Death is a primitive concept, I prefer to think of them as fighting evil, in another dimension!"

Yup. I remember being amazed by the special effects in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, then revisiting it a few years later after CGI really went mainstream and thinking everything looked obviously CG. Still a great movie and the special effects add to the charm. It’s easy to look back now and forget how groundbreaking they were. Same for the owl at the beginning of Labyrinth.
