Well, the commentary is on the disc at the end. It always struck me as being quite overly dramatic. On the one hand, it seems to be perhaps a little on the excessive side. Whether this was an attempt to ellicit a lump in the throat from the average cinema-goer at the thought of the deliberate destruction of all life on earth by forcing them to grapple with the idea of absolute finality, is certainly an interesting idea - "the woe unto ye that meddle," sort of thought bubble. Of course, right now, it does seem to be a little more relevant to the immediate application of the game of consequences, don't you think? And when you think a little harder about this movie, it does suddenly pop out at you as being more akin to sci-fi/horror, rather than just sci-fi.
I saw this movie in a cinema first time round. It left a distinctly uneasy feeling in the mind of my 7 or 8 year old self. It was not a pretty picture. And to qualify this impression, the composer sort of weirded it out a little more with his composition. Was this a ground-breaking movie with it's doom and gloom prognosis?
