I saw it when it first came out on video, from what I remember it was OK but nothing really that special. I'm not a sci-fi/futuristic nut or anything though so others might appreciate it more.

Side-note: Payback is a remake of Point Blank starring Lee Marvin. The original isn't very good but, worth watching if you like Lee Marvin. I think it's available on Netflix.
Side-side-note: Lucy Liu is incredibly sexy in Payback!

The new Jason Statham movie Parker is also based on the same character, but is based on a different Donald Westlake novel.

Along the same lines you have "The Day the Earth Stood Still." And I DON'T mean the crappy Keanu remake. It's the first anti-nuke movie, made in 1951. Gort: Klatu berada nikto.

"Iron Sky" - Supremely stoopit. Loved it.

Iron Sky was baaaad. Some good nudity would have redeemed it a bit but, not much!

The original TDTEST was a great movie but, I thought the Keanu version was decent.

That movie was so bad the first time I saw it (on an airplane) I walked out on it!

So I'm watching it again right now.

Whole movie...but spanish subtitles

When you realize that it was supposed to be bad and laden with schlock references, it becomes far less bad. It works for National Lampoon, but people always wanna shit on the little guy

It's a movie about Nazis. On the moon.

Might as well expect a superhero movie to be serious
