Eagle: Listen, WALDO isn't exactly human. WALDO is a multinational corporation, working the ass-end of the nuclear cycle. Professor Heinrich and I once conjected the possibility of a high-level nuclear excursion, thats a link! Now, last night, he reversed charged a call from here, and he was cut-off before I could get the details, but it was quite obvious that he was in BIG TROUBLE!
Larry: Do me a favor mate, I've got enough trouble of my own!
Eagle: [Points outside to plane flying over] Thats trouble laddy! And whether you like it or not, we are all aboard!
- ConnectionsFeatured in The Chain Reaction: Deleted and Extended Scenes (1980)
Some scenes are very interesting and intriguing, and other scenes are very dull and boring. Same thing goes for the action sequences, which were exciting half the time, and wearisome the other half.
The best parts of the movie come from its unique, eerie, and electronic soundtrack and sound effects. Also, the acting was pretty good for the most part.
Overall, it's at least watchable. I'd recommend it. 5/10.
Lastly, if you disagree with the opinions stated here, that's completely okay, and you're entitled to your own.
