Great sci-fi flick. The story is very good, and the production and the actors did a great job. I don't think this movie is outdated, just more campy and enjoyable. A must see sci-fi classic.

*Lifeforce* sounded like it should have been a blast—space vampires, Halley’s Comet, and an apocalyptic London—but I found it mostly loud, silly, and painfully uneven. The movie jumps between sci-fi, horror, disaster spectacle, and exploitation so abruptly that none of its ideas get enough room to work. There are a few impressive effects and some memorably bizarre images, but they cannot rescue the clunky dialogue…
