Trivialidades:

The main theme of the score is, fittingly, based on the Christmas carol "The First Noel".

Errores:

Continuidad: Every time Paul opens the glove box in Dr. Matheson's Mercedes he picks the lock with his nail file, but never locks it again. Since all three happen in the same evening it would make sense that he didn't lock it because he had to open it again to put the stole ID card back. Still he used the nail file to pick the lock again.

Citas:

[first lines]
Dr. John Matthewson: Now, the beta synchrotron sends the electrons through this magnet which bends the course of them down to the reaction vessel. Stay away from that elbow joint. All right. Bran, you want to get that? Now, this is a tunable excimer laser. It's tuned to the exact resonance of the plutonium-239 that's in the reaction vessel down at that end. Now, I think we're all set. Hit it.

Impractical, but a good story

I don't understand why this movie is so underrated. The movie has a really good plot, and I really like how there is comedy combined with the serious plot. I especially like the jokes about the government.

"They’re gorillas, they can hurt you. If you try to talk it out with them, they’ll lock you in a room somewhere and throw away the room."

"What did you want us to do, put up a neon sign saying 'secret weapons laboratory'?"
