Fast paced and exciting with amazing make up FX. I especially love the Golden Sphere and it's antics. Got to meet Angus Scrimm once and wow, was he ever a sweet gentleman.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03097420555737415471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12380553.post-56348404389313105412015-11-17T12:00:54.671-05:002015-11-17T12:00:54.671-05:00Phantasm II had a much bigger budget than the firs...Phantasm II had a much bigger budget than the first movie. Yes, II was much more pleasing to watch (having a lighting budget and all.) But yes, it was Rambo-ized.<br /><br />Part III was just....bad.<br /><br />Oblivion is very much the true sequel of the original. There is much speculation about what Ravager (allegedly in post-production) will deal with, but from a lot of the teasers being put out, it appears that quantum physics and alternate universes will play big in the movie. ff3psychttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03025914966203496472noreply@blogger.com
