This scene is a great example of the mistake people made with cgi early on. With the robe on, the creature actually doesn't look terrible today, the tracking is a little off, but it's photo real. It's uncanny, but that actually helps. When they show the full creature is where the illusion really breaks. Because they were flaunting their cgi, not realizing how bad it would look in the future. It's the shots where the filmmakers try to obscure the visual effects that actually look better.

Would they be sent to Alpha Prime immediately or be sent somewhere else? If they did end up at Alpha Prime, I'm sure their next adventure would happen there dealing with aliens.

But I can kill the monster!” When you stop to think about it he was already a monster consumed by greed and was willing to murder people.

Here I am years later and boy the CGI looks hasnt aged well. Film makers showed to much of it during this scene. I cant even say this was even fully passable for 98. Jurassic Park, and Godzilla had better CGI. I'll still give it a pass because it took Hollywood a bit to craft it. The 90s were part of the roots. Filmmakers learned from mistakes of the old CGI and made progression and how it should be used. This movie still remains part of my childhood.
