>From the Baltimore Sun review, selected snippets . . .

"The screenplay's lack of gamesmanship makes you yearn for James           =
         Bond stolen-bomb movies like Thunderball and Never Say Never =
Again."

"The script is so niggling with details, it's as if the filmmakers
didn't want to tax the consciousness of 10-year-olds."

"  . . . the script reduces the likes of James Cromwell (as the president) =
and Philip
Baker Hall, Ron Rifkin and Bruce McGill (as his top advisers) to           =
          cryogenic imitations of themselves."
