Was on my Comcast cable movie list. Think you should be able to find it on Amazon or Netflix, too.

I had sort of dreaded seeing that one for some reason -- the Holocaust is not easy subject matter -- but I did catch it in the theatre and I enjoyed it quite a lot. Amazing bravery, and it was astonishing that of all the people they helped, only two were captured.

The zoo, before the bombing, was amazing!

The Great Wall with Matt Damon. There's no "whitewashing" in this movie, his character is supposed to be Western, not Asian. This is not the high caliber of film I expect from Damon but it's not nearly as bad as some have made it out to be. It's good lowbrow entertainment.

Slipstream (1989) - IMDb
The thing is with budget bin collection of movies, you aren't expecting too much. As it is, had I known that Mark Hamill was in it (somehow, after watching SeaQuest, I distrust anything in him but Star Wars) I would have passed it by. As it was, the opening credits weren't shown.

Wonderful photography and wonderful backgrounds.

It is sort of a combination of
Spoiler
Waterworld gone to the skies with Cyborg and then A Boy and His Dog
, movie wise. That is, somethings were apparent ahead of time before they were revealed.

I liked it, primarily because there were so many familiar concepts I could lock in on. It's a decent Saturday Matinee flick. I saw it in the evening but as that Saturday is my sci-fi night, we-ll..................

A down side is that major stars we know of now really didn't have such great parts back then. Another down point is that for the environment described in the voice over, it really is no Ballybran.

A 90 minute or so flick that gives one a semi decent feeling after the performance. I can go for that.

"White savior" was the unfounded accusation thrown at the movie. I thought it was entertaining.

Me and the fiance saw that and Good Time yesterday. Birth of the Dragon good, Good Time great; in fact, I think Pattinson should be nominated for at minimum a Golden Globe if not an Oscar for this one, he's definitely not Edward Cullen here 👍
