Even stranger is the finale features the exact same kind of round, reflective spacecraft that was used in the low budget sci fi Wavelength, which came out a year earlier . The exact same thing ! I was not familiar with that one, Mike, but I found a blurry picture, and that is surprising! If we add Michael Crichton's burnished extra-terrestrial globe in "Sphere," 15 years later, that makes four shiny alien balls. Depicting a spaceship as a reflective sphere is difficult to realize, as it can be visually confusing – I liked Nitzsche's score in "Starman," and Karen Allen and Jeff Bridges were wonderful, but I felt that Carpenter bungled the finale, and his big shiny ball didn't quite work. In my book, E.T.'s bauble was the most successful. And beautiful.
