puts on nerd voice...

Whilst Empire Strikes Back is a great film there was no attack on a Death Star. Nor did anyone say in Return of the Jedi or Star Wars IV (where the Death Star was attacked), "Remember, short controlled bursts".

So no.

You are of course correct but I found the direction was poor so it can't be considered a "great" movie just a good one.

No to Starship... In the Ball park though.

Not a parody more of a homage to Aliens.

There is a line in a famous horror film that might give you a clue, it starts 'Even a man who's pure of heart and says his prayers at night.."

It wouldn't happen to be Prometheus then would it? 

My favourite part of the movie is immortalised in this comic:

Not Prometheus.

To recap:

Might not be Science Fiction

Homage/plot to Aliens (which also has the line).

Contains a Doctors son


Come on guys, you need to get this one. This beast must die.

J82 of course Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy???
