Same here, but don't be surprised that, if somebody says they don't like it, I'll point out that I do, and often will mention some of the reasons why.

I wonder if the age of the person is a factor.
That's undoubtedly one of the common factors. Like you, I first saw it when quite young, and I saw it on a big screen. It wasn't IMAX, but it was close. I was extremely impressed with it, and it was great thinking that this, or something close to it, might be real in my future. I'm sad some of that didn't work out, though I'm glad they were wrong on other things (for instance, a continued cold war).
