PHOTON is what happens when you turn paintball into an indoor infrared laser sporting event, base a science fiction TV show around said sporting event, license every chart-topping pop single from 1980 to 1986 to accompany said show, realize by licensing said music you've blown your entire production budget, and resolve the matter by transforming every proposed set into a low-budget miniature and superimposing your actors over it using 1980s "green screen" technology. In other words, PHOTON was the greatest show ever. Even better than the Thanksgiving episode of CHEERS with the food fight and better than every episode of GARFIELD AND FRIENDS except maybe the one where the foley guy quits and Odie gets hired to do all the sound effects.
