Eighties over-hyped
14 February 2009
I really wanted to like this movie, but in the end I just couldn't.

The film has no real direction and despite certain comedic attempts most jokes falls flat. The idea behind the movie seems very farsical, but somehow the script doesn't fill the shoes well. Jokes or various 'ha-ha' nudges are mostly weak. Additionally the movie progresses slowly with little or no scary moments, whilst dramatic scenes are laughable. In the end we have a movie, where the director has no real clue of what genre he is trying to fill.

I must say that the film ends at a very high note and I gave the movie two extra stars for the absurd 'future of the human race' outro. The best sold idea in a movie, that gets caught up in the undertow of its hype.
