I just want to inform some people that Robert A. Heinlein wrote a wonderful novel called CITIZEN OF THE GALAXY. It is one of my favorite science fiction novels.
However, I am annoyed by the movie QUEST OF THE never mind I don't even feel like completing the title.
Why do I mention it?
When I first saw this on MST3K, I saw so many things that had apparently been lifted right out of the beginning of CITIZEN OF THE GALAXY: The slave boy in bandages purchased by the beggar who turns out to really be a spy... At the auction scene, the beggar even does the same thing in his bidding--he bids a certain number, but several denominations of currency lower than expected, and is sold the slave after all because nobody else wants him.
To those who said there were some neat things that could have been done with this movie, I say read Heinlein's CITIZEN OF THE GALAXY.

Certainly, IMPOSTOR might not rank in the ten greatest science fiction epics of all time, but I just want to make clarifications.
First of all, several commentors have said that this movie borrows heavily from BLADE RUNNER and TOTAL RECALL. Some are aware of this, but many of the reviewers seem to be ignorant of the fact that all works were written by the same author.
Second, many of the best movies--especially science fiction movies--were despised and lambasted in their own times. Sometimes this is because the plots are too cerebral, but sometimes it's because the style of the film is not what is popular at the time.
I say this not to chastise those who say they do not like this film. I say this only to reprimand those who feel they have the moral obligation and divine right to call this the worst film ever made. A request for all reviewers: tell me your opinions, but do not tell me what mine should be.
Dah svidanya.

I think its fairly danged obvious that this film was not made to be taken seriously. It certainly doesn't take itself seriously. It's just a fun movie. The Anti-Blade Runner, if you will. Does every science fiction movie have to suffer the endlessly pointless scrutiny of a thousand Star Trek fans and somebody who has read a physics book?
Certainly, it's not the best movie I've ever seen, and it probably won't be showing up on any AFI lists, but there are some times whenever I don't want to watch Citizen Kane or even Brazil, but just an entertaining little flick.
