Never saw Duel i know it was Speilberg but that is about all. Well again coming from the perspective in terms of what the focus should have been on the movie failed big time. I cannot stress that enough and the fact that there were way too many plot holes made me aggravated. Again these ships "buried for millenia" lol give me a break. The military needing Tom to tell them the shields were down. Geez. ah well I also tend to take my scifi seriously and get annoyed when they lose focus on the really great elements of this stuff ;)
