Really enjoyed it, the humor has held up really well over 25 years, little has aged and it will probably remain that way. I'd go as far to say that this will be one of the timeless niche comedies of the 90s, which will be rediscovered in every generation. It has a fantastic cast, and the writing is just top notch. Here's a film that pokes fun at sci-fi culture but at the same time pays respectful homage to it. The film has heart and you really don't see that too often.
I loved the character of Alexander Dane, who despises his TV role and his "Grabthar's hammer" line, speaking it with disdain, until the final time he utters the words and he truly means them. That was a powerful moment, more than I would have expected. And the Thermians being super intelligent but also extremely gullible, innocent and childlike, made the scene even more moving. This film is a lot more complex than it would have appeared on the surface. I could go on and on but I'll spare you. Highly recommended!
All time favourite movie, I can watch it on repeat.
