Roth is a good actor. Marky Mark OTOH.....
I saw all the originals on the Sci-Fi channel.
Zaus says “Man is evil and will destroy everything he comes across, he will make a desert of his home and yours” (isn't that the libs/illegals moving to where we live doing that?),
then Charlton Heston with the babe on a horse coming across the statue of liberty,’Damn you all to hell, you blew it up,.....”
I still love to watch the first ~ 20 minutes before they are captured, Heston's lines as Taylor are classic.
He rubs into one of the others “Everything you knew and loved are long dead”
When I was a teen I read the book too.
I never would of after these newer movies.
In those days acting and script mattered.
