I especially loved the Red Scare / 50's paranoia sci-fi combo.

I would have loved to see this exhibited to a greater degree, but after the first 20 minutes did "50's paranoia" ever get even a nod? And same for the red scare. Other than having a Russian accent, there was
nothing Russian or Communist about the threat and since the movie quickly moved away from anything resembling modern culture there was no Red Scare stuff either.
But after 10 days of living with this movie in my mind I've pretty thoroughly shed what enjoyment I had while watching it (which barely survived the closing credits anyway) so it is probably best that I just put it in a mental box and forget about it like I have
National Treasure 2 (though this was
much better than
National Treasure 2; which might be like saying that drinking cat pee is much better than eating cat poop).
