Cocoon

Cocoon is a science fiction movie from the 80's that I recall knowing about back then but I never actually watched it. It's a pretty decent movie, although the 80's influence on its mood is pretty obvious. So it's not timeless in that manner. The basic plot is pretty interesting and there's some real good subtext you can read into. But I wish there had been much less feel-good type fluff put into the middle of the film. That kind of made the movie lose focus and eat up time that could have been spent exploring the ideas further.
