Personally I love the space scenes and the loving recreation of spaceflight long before it became (almost) boring. I so loved the circular space station that I was gutted when the ISS looked nothing like it! To think they did all the SFX with models... no CGI anywhere..

And all of your posting(s) raise the choice: (1) read book; (2) see movie; (3) do both?RTDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17113953356514605424noreply@blogger.com
