....and I thought "Starship Troopers" was as bad as it gets
1 February 2001
Warning: Spoilers
I have just seen this film on tv, only because my friends insisted, and could not resist adding a comment. **SPOILER ALERT**I was laughing hysterically throughout the film, and could not even stop when my friends where almost in tears over Rosie's death or at the end over Angel's and Blair's "passionate" kiss. I don't think i have seen a film this bad ever since i paid £4 to watch "Starship Troopers" at my local cinema, and the £4 are the only reason why i still think "Starship Troopers" was worse. To start with, this film has some of the sloppiest special effects i have ever seen in a sci-fi film, second only to the "Star-Trek:The original series" special effects which were practically non-existent. Even the spaceships looked like submarines from World War 2, and what was the deal with those hideous hats? If they bothered to use Freddie Prinze Jr, in order to obviously attract all those 13-14 year old girls, then why did they make him wear that hat that made him look like a frog, to say the least?(A friend suggested that this could be a conspiracy to ruin Freddie's career!!!). AND WHAT ABOUT THE ALIENS? I agree with another user's comment who said that they probably had not planned for the aliens to actually appear on screen but then changed their minds the last minute. This is the only reasonable explanation i can come up with to justify the fact that the aliens looked more like a couple of senile tyrranosaurus's in a retirement home. And finally, this is the first sci-fi film i have ever seen where a truck clears the airway by throughing the wreckage (including a dead body which noone bothered to retrieve)into space!!! 1/10
