Pretty dumb, but not too bad
18 December 2008
After this movie was over and the credits rolled, my reaction was, "Wow, that was stupid." While actually watching it, though, it was entertaining enough. Pretty much anything with Kari Matchett in it is probably going to be worth watching as far as I'm concerned. Mostly thanks to her (the Rowdy Roddy Piper look-a-like was good too), the acting in this movie is actually much better than in the original, where it was pretty damn bad aside from the guy who played Worth. The most annoying thing about this movie is how lazy the script is. The writers throw in a bunch of catch phrases they probably picked up in a popular science book (I'm guessing Hyperspace by Michio Kaku), but they had either read the book a while ago and forgotten what the terms actually meant or didn't understand them in the first place. How much would it have cost to hire a physicist to work with them on the script for a couple days so that their ideas (which could have been interesting) actually made sense and weren't implemented in such a laughably nonsensical way?
