Wow, Tangaroa, I though TLS was required viewing for all us design geeks, you know, like TRON was.

The movie's pretty cheezy and aimed at youngsters, but had surprisingly advanced spacecraft design (by Ron Cobb). It's also notable for being the first movie ever to incorporate true rasterized 3D images in a film (unlike TRON where the raster images were photographed and re-shot on an animation stand).

If you've never seen it, give it a look. At least it has historical value, and there's a tiki in it!

Now, back to being a geek...
