Maybe, but even though I haven't seen it yet, isn't it similar to "Armagaeddon"

Can't Hollywood come up with original plots?

I guess you'd have to see it, as well as Armageddon.
I am going for a record: waiting the longest to see Armageddon.
Capitalize on this good fortune, one word can bring you round ... changes.

Sorry to go off topic MrGray, well slightly.

Re your Sci Fi movies of the 50's - do you know of a site that covers war movies?

You can try http://www.video.google.com,

You may get lucky. Other than that I have no idea. Sorry for that.

I don't mind going off topic. It's just the huge debates that detract from topics, not nice questions like yours.
