Over the years, I’ve seen this on VHS, LaserDisc, and DVD, but, of course, nothing beats the big screen. Along with being able to fully appreciate the incredibly detailed visuals, the music stood out to me in a way that it never has before. Thirty years old, this visionary work still beats the pants off most sci-fi today, every frame buzzing with imagination and emotion.

Still awesome/perfect in almost every way. For anyone who ever became obsessed with a computer game, you can practically smell Matthew Broderick's messy, sunless room.

Christopher Reeve, goddammit.

Also, I actually appreciate the preposterous ending more as I get older. (Maybe as much as I enjoyed it when I was a kid.) It's not sci-fi, it's myth.

A movie featuring a team of mutant super-assassins hunting down Wolverine … And it sucks? Nice job, assfaces.
