ALL SCI-FI

Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome feels like two different movies spliced together. After Max is exiled from Bartertown and found by the kids (who speak a jargon that sounds like Popeye with an Australian a ...

The concept sounds a bit similar to Night of the Comet (1984) -- only without the tongue-in-cheek humor and the two cute Valley Girls.

Here's a WeTransfer link to a good quality copy of Yongary, Monster from the Deep, dubbed in English. It's an MKV file and might not work with all media players.

The music for The Last Days of Pompeii is credited to Roy Webb, though it's very much in the Max Steiner mode. Some of Steiner's King Kong music cues can be heard in the final 10 minutes.

I never liked the design of the Enterprise-E. It looks like it got stepped on by a humongous alien, and it's way over-designed. Too much random detail and fiddly bits!
