Review : A strange episode, but seemingly based on a strange episode in history. I used to think the entire story of the gunfight was fictional, but it turned out to be an actual historic event, although the circumstances were very different from here. Still, this version of it with its exceptionally low-tech special effects and the whole 'film set on Mars' look to it bordered on surreal in places. The obvious course of action would have been to throw down the guns and surrender as soon as possible (remembering that it was all an illusion anyway). I like the resolution, that by convincing yourself that none of this was real, nothing can harm you. The improved VFX was quite subtle here. The buoy looked pretty strange anyway, and all that really changed was a bit of realism to the banked turns. The planet looked like an expanded Mars, so matched the surface very well. Verdict, very strange, but not very good.
