Corrections and Trivia

Template:Spoiler

  1. I think the plot description is wrong: they crash, but DO transmit a warning back to Earth.
  2. The DVD features 1970s restoration by film enthusiast Wade Williams, which involved replacing some of the original FX shots and reshooting exterior long shots with spacesuited stand-ins. As I understand it the reshoots were shot in color and transferred to black and white just so the grain would match the original footage. Lee M 01:40, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Separate the plot from the review

Comments about hitting the eye of a mosquito and Newtonian Law should probably be reserved for the Notes section after the Plot section. If the editor didn't like the movie, it shouldn't pepper his/her recounting of the plot.

I agree. In this instance, I'd particularly like to see a source cited for the probability on "hitting the left eye of a mosquito at a range of several miles." Editorializing is inappropriate content for an encyclopedic tone. Too often there's a tendency for wikipedia contributors to write reviews (rather than encyclopedia articles) when it comes to movies, novels, music, etc. Remember: you're not here to express your opinion or make witty comments about plot holes -- do that on your 'blog. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. 66.17.118.195 16:12, 17 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
