Kilmer, Jarret, Meyrink, and Gries all rendered performances of scientists and engineers that are honestly more realistic and more human than anything I've seen since except possibly McKinnon's in the 2016 "Ghostbusters". Also Atherton's performance was top-notch as the villain.

This remains my favorite movie and the inspiration for me to go into STEM when I saw it as a 10-year-old.

Kilmer was a rare, if difficult, talent, and I'm so sorry we lost him so early.
