Considering the low quality of TV movies, this one has to be considered one of the better ones. I just watched the commercial free 3 hr 20 minute version.
Its a great premise, even with all of its holes. Mark Harmon is an incredibly poor actor (check out all the scenes where he has to have his shirt off) who apparently was being showcased in this movie. But the movie survives in spite of him.
Christopher Lee and Frank Gorshin carry out their roles quite well. The writers do a credible job of explaining how certain unlikely events might have taken place, and there is enough of a plot to keep things moving. Plus its a fun family affair, where you can laugh at some of the silly lines, yet still hang in there waiting to see what comes next.
I would not recommend renting or buying it, but if you have nothing else to watch and 3+ hours to kill, its decent fare.
