This film is visually stunning but the story is a choppy, incoherent mess. Interestingly, I didn't realise until writing this review that there was a director's cut released in 2002, which is 20 minutes longer than the standard theatrical version, and I would be interested to see it as I think it would be a much stronger watch. The theatrical release is carried by excellent production values and a good cast. I'm not sure who's more unrecogniseable in their role: Tim Curry or Robert Picardo - the latter definitely should have had a greater amount of screen time as the one scene he's in is a highlight for me. Worth a watch in the standard version but I would say try and find the director's cut, if possible.

Fair enough for its era. The script isn't great, but the visual elements are where it shines.

Just seen the director's cut. Awesome. It's even better than the one I've seen a thousand times. Wish I could see the 150 minutes original film...

Entertaining enough fantasy-adventure doesn't offer a whole lot in terms of character development and I'm not entirely sure Tom Cruise was right for that role, but it was okay and the production design and prosthetics were impressive. Kind of an oddity as a Ridley Scott film, felt more like somethin More
