A lot of fuss was made at the time. Technically it's unbelievable and it's a visual feast. The floating islands are straight out of Roger Dean's Yes albums.
The plot is not bad, noble savages vs. corporate bad guys, but it goes on a bit too long. It also struck me that what the bad guys were after didn't require life on the planet, so the humans could have just simply left, come back later and wiped out the planet with atomic, chemical or biological weapons, leaving the minerals intact. Obviously wanted a feel good ending. Good pizza movie, though.
