Concept: 4/4 (Great)
Story: 4/4 (Great)
Characters: 3/4 (Good)
Dialog: 4/4 (Great)
Pacing: 3/4 (Good)
Cinematography: 3/4 (Good)
Special effects/design: 2/4 (Indifferent). Some of the effects are great, some are bad.  All of the design is bad.
Acting: 3/4 (Good). Harrison's performance is easy to overlook, but pretty impressive once you start paying attention to it. And Hunter does remarkably well for being buried in rubber.
Music: 4/4 (Great). It's silly, but I don't care, I love it.
Subjective Rating: 9/10 (One of my favorites, 4/4 5/4). It's the quintessential science fiction film of an era (for all the right reasons), and a damn good movie besides that.
Objective Rating (Average): 3.4/4 3.5/4 (Very good)
