All talk, little action in this science fiction movie
which doubles up as an allegory for racial tolerance.
A human space pilot and a lizard-like alien crash land on
a distant planet and must set aside their differences for the sake of their own survival.
The film has some great makeup effects and good production
values, but very little happens to justify a running time of 108 minutes. A good message is all but lost in space.
