Still ( imho ) one of Spielberg's greatest accomplishments.

Cassie took the ending better than l expected, and seemed to appreciate the care and craft on glorious display.

I don't dispute it as an accomplishment. Nevertheless my feelings are mixed.

That said, @LKB I found the blu-ray at the Library, so i'll give it a fresh go.

     The incomparable trashterpiece Lifeforce is starting to get the reappraisal it deserves.


     The Henry Mancini score is outstanding. There's also a ballerina who most excellently doesn't wear clothes often. She's a space vampire so I guess she doesn't have to.

Thanks.  I had no idea who that was or if it was some sort of different version of the movie.

To my surprise, he's scared up video of discarded notions. There are interesting what-ifs.

Lifeforce is a hoot, and any film with Patrick Stewart is going to prove worthwhile in any case.

     One admires Animals and can see why it's considered PFs best by an army of considerers. I don't think liking comes into it very much, though. It has an awesome prayer in it, so it has that.

I may be contrarian here, in really not thinking much of this album.

     I do think it's their best in terms of its realized ambition. On a smaller scale Echoes would be my choice.

I haven't seen Lifeforce, but I ordered the Blu-ray of it almost a month ago. CDON sucks at delivery...  ::)
Spatial distortion is a serious problem deteriorating headphone listening.
Crossfeeders reduce spatial distortion and make the sound more natural
and less tiresome in headphone listening.

    I have both the 1080p and 4k. Unfortunately the 4k has cuts (~13 min) and the opening credits music is changed. That OK, though, because the 1080p remastered version is great.
