It's funny how perceptions differ or the mind and memory distorts. I too saw this film once-only and way-back. I can't remember Keir Dullea or Adrienne Barbeau (though I know her - Adrienne BareBreasts, a forerunner of Basinger...)

I can remember the beautiful, barren, isolated, almost-sterile Greek-island locations and the haunting atmosphere of would-be escapism - from the rat-race reality of techno life

There was a 70s British TV drama series (The Lotus Eaters) with the same precepts

I don't recall the 'one' being on a rescue mission, but actually an escape

In a small way, this film preludes Terminator and predicts current quantum theorising. That can't be bad

As stated, this reviewer perceives and recalls differently to the previous comments - in a way, this in itself actually reflects the ethos of the character interaction

Either that or I'm from a different planet....I'll have to get hold of the DVD to be sure!
