Review

George Lucas' renowned low-key sci-fi has got an inspired Robert Duvall, some intriguing observations and a climatic finale, but lacks nerve and potency for too long. The famous visuals are not uncreative, but except for the final scenes, they give the film a confined, unspatial atmosphere which serves more to limit the characters vitality than give a truly claustrophobic feel. Despite Duvall's efforts, Lucas is never really able to front the human side of his characters.
