Has this aged well?

I've never seen it. Worth seeing? If it's dated I'm not interested.

Its still great. Far future effects hold up.

IT HAS AGED BETTER THAN YOUR PERSONALITY.

Yes, it's aged surprisingly well. Still a good movie (not a great one), with effects and production design that still look futuristic, and nothing that screams "1990s". The movie is just as watchable as it was 25 years ago.

And Bruce Willis is still in it, if only his presence faded with time!

I don't care about that. It's a fun movie. That's all you should care about.

This is pretty much the reply I was going to type. It is fun to watch, and that's really all that matters.

It’s such a fun quirky product of it’s time, and you should definitely check it out. Don’t deprive yourself of this joyful experience.

Yes. Just rewatched it with my little sibling. Holds up better than expected.

The effects and costumes are surprisingly pretty good even after almost 3 decades.

A solid, fun sci-fi film

It's timeless, something I really like.

It is cartoonish, so it does not suffer from aging like a serious movie would.

[–] abc123 (21) 2 months ago

That's another way of seeing it, I guess.

Definitely. I am still waiting for something even remotely like it.
