(...) As with many movies like this, the mindset you have while watching makes or ruins the experience. I first saw the movie on opening night at the midnight showing at my favorite theater back home. I had seen very little commentary on the film (I (...)

(...) The movie was promoted as if it was real and as you've probably seen, the official site is full of back story material that makes the movie seem more realistic. The movie was not based on a true story, but they thought that promoting it as if (...) (25 years ago, 24-Jan-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

To All, Thanks for the responses, I don't know why this perplexed me so much, now I have a better understanding of it. My fiancee got motion sickness from this film, and I just got frustrated.
