...beauty of the arctic cloudscapes, icescapes and oceanscapes, where a refueling rendezvous with a submarine must be kept if a final, final escape is to be made. In these concluding passages, John Dykstra's special effects help to turn Firefox into a fantastic voyage through a kind of boyish dream world, suspenseful but, despite all the rocket fire, essentially innocent.
