Nice to see it's in letterbox

Y'know that's another 70s sci-fi film I read about in Starlog at the time, but never saw.

I need to fix that.

It's a good fun movie, but don't expect super great special effects

It's very TV-movie-ish ... like Westworld and Final Countdown

[Gorn Captain]

I have fond memories of that film.
True, FX are pretty shaky, but I can't resist an "it's the end of the world" picture...
And it has some George Peppard A-team moments!

[kennermike]

the effects are from 1976 when it was filmed pre-Star Wars.they are not bad Im just wondering since Blu-Ray is 1080P what they are gonna look like? I wonder how much restoration was done from the original film source?

[Mikey]

I suspect some things should look good --- the funky sky

and some things should look nasty --- the giant scorpions

The scorpions really looked pasted-on, yeah.

And it was the start to Jan-Michael Vincent's glorious career in movies!

I always liked White Line Fever

I named my first truck Blue Mule

Ahhh, the movie that 20th Century Fox thought would be the blockbuster while they buried Star Wars as being the “dud.”

I have only watched this once as a kid,when i stayed at my grandparents house,must get round to watching this again always loved the Landmaster vehicle thought it was way cool.

I've always been a fan of DAMNATION ALLEY, despite it's hokiness and kinda crappy SFX. I think THIS would be a good movie to do a remake of....
