Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!
Cebalord Very best movie i ever watch
Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
haznael If you love to watch bad movies, then here's one for you. Though not quite as great as Troll 2, Robot vs. the Aztec Mummy, or Black Rage, Future Fear is definitely worth watching for all you freaks out there. A the start of the movie, you get to see what looks like two remote-control planes flying through a desert. At least I thought they were remote control. It turns out that they're supposed to be real! That's where the fun begins. Soon you find out about the confusing plot involving the rights of cloned fetuses, who one of the main characters loves with a mother's passion. Then you'll get to see the bad-guy' fortress, which on the inside looks just like any old office building, and numerous other details. Overall, the acting is abysmal, the plot is nonexistant, and the special effects are a sin on all of humanity--which leaves you with a fine film indeed. Watch it as soon as possible!
a_fortiori_ Ok, so it is really that bad. But it's entertaining in a Mystery-cience-Theater-3000 sort of way. I mean, it's not just bad, it's awful. It makes you wonder what the writers were thinking. The special effects are a joke, the bright latex costumes are inexcusable, and, to appeal to the highbrows, the movie contains numerous references to Alice in Wonderland, for which the main character has some kind of wierd fetish. Look for Humpty Dumpty on the mantle during the sex scenes. Anyway, it's basically a 90's update of Plan Nine from Outer Space, only without aliens (the only space shot is of this satellite collecting cosmic dust, which is shown maybe eight different times). The movie is worth checking out, if only to know for yourself how bad it really is. But don't be disappointed when you find out that those tight guns and exploding spaceship on the cover are nowhere in the film.
shannon.dunmyer I caught this one on late night Showtime, and unlike everyone else I didn't think it sucked. The acting was pretty good, and the story was passable for a late night sci-fi flick. The sets and FX were weak, but sets and FX aren't what makes a movie or TV show good, look at Dr Who! I'll grant you that this wasn't on par with Dr Who, but I'd watch Future Fear twice more before reading the back of Twister once. Maria Ford, as usual, made it all worth it. She's smart, a good actor, and drop-dead gorgeous. Stacy Keach and Jeff Wincott were both good as well, with some pretty funny lines and scenes.I give it 6/10.
kamikaze-4 Talk about your bad B movies. Future Fear is basically a three person show with scenes cribbed from other movies. Pay close attention to the trailers on the New Horizons video cassette. In the trailer for Eruption, there are scenes of Latin American extras running from an erupting volcano crowding the streets. In the middle of Future Fear, the film makers use the same scene of Latin Americans running from an erupting volcano to demonstrate the effects of mass panic of the citizens who are fleeing from a deadly virus that has been brought back by a comet. The whole movie must consist of under an hour with extra scenes from other Roger Corman New Horizon films padding out the film to a turgid eighty minute length. The plot? Jeff Wincott has created a cure for the virus, but wife Maria Ford's loyalty is for the Government led by a fascist Stacy Keach, and spends time running around the New Horizons office building trying to kill Jeff Wincott. If you ever want to see a film that quotes from Alice in Wonderland and Lewis Carroll's Jabberwocky then this it. One good scene however. In a flashback scene, Jeff Wincott and Maria Ford recreate the Mad Hatter's tea party. I don't know why, but that is an inspired scene. Too bad it lasts a few moments. The movie itself seems to last a lifetime.
