My mom rented this movie for me (I can't remember if it was by my request or not, though) when I pretty young, like, 9 or 10, and it pretty much blew my easily-influenced young mind. I know the roto-scoped stuff gets singled out a lot for criticism but I found it pretty amazing at the time and I still kind of like it to this day, although I admit you can tell it gets leaned on at the end there when the budget had run out. More than anything, that opening 3 to 5 minute narration ("the earth exploded in a thousand atomic fireballs") and the blood-frenzy Blackwolf's army whips itself into when it sees the archival footage for the first time are some of my personal favorites in cinema.
-d.d.
