I haven't seen it (I think).
Looking at its entry on Rotten Tomatoes, it appears to be one of those films where the newer reviews tend to be more positive.
Why would there be newish reviews anyway unless it's a film that's still attracting significant attention?
Some of the better sci-fi movies aren't received well initially and take time to pick up a following. If they're lucky they go on to be 'sleeper hits' or 'cult classics'. Sure, re-releases help but a lot of it is there's a small group of people, like those commenting here, who remember a film/series and sing their praises long after the critics and mass audiences have forgotten about them.
Also, there are people like myself who are always scouring recommendations lists to see what we've overlooked. I find some very interesting movies that way.
Thanks. I feel myself that l am too influenced by critics. Years ago I used to go to Blockbuster and come away with random movies based on blurb on the back of the dvd case. Nowadays I'm wary of watching a movie unless it has a great score and lots of reviews on rotten tomatoes. I feel like i'm probably missing out on a lot of hidden gems.
