I heard they’re re-releasing this in theatres to celebrate the 40th anniversary of its original theatrical release. 40 years. Wow. No way. I saw this in the theatre by accident. We went to see Electric Horseman, but it had gone, and this was in its place. I was 14, and my twin best friends and I had been dropped off, so we were stuck there. This was the only other movie we hadn’t already seen, lol. We kind of laughed our way through it, since I had never been a Star Trek fan, and it just seemed so cheesy. But later, I married a baby boomer, and he is a Trekkie, and I learned to love the characters and the various series. It was Star Trek IV that eventuality won me over. I like anything about time travel. Electric Horseman is a great movie, but I’m glad I accidentally saw this iconic first movie when I did.
