Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

MSHughes-1 I don' know what movie you guys were watching, or alternately how to characterize the parallel branch of the Great Tree on which this trash comes out looking entertaining. You l i k e d the guy channeling a third-rate panto artiste doing his Captain Hook? If a ticking crocodile had emerged from subspace and taken a bite out of him - hey, let's be fair - out of everyone involved in this tax-scam fiasco - t h a t might have been entertaining. A little bit of Aliens (rendered in high-impact chipboard), a little bit of every maverick-takes-on-stiffnecked-brasshat -but-they-end-up-pals movie, a bunch of no-hope has-beens (rendered in high-impact chipboard). Hey, what's not to like - once the Lithium's kicked in

junk-monkey The only reason to watch this cliché ridden piece of crap is to watch John Pyper-Ferguson chew up the scenery as the villain. He's great! The accent wobbles a bit from time to time though. It was the fashion when this movie was made that all the baddies in Hollywood movies had to have English accents. Charles Dance, Alan Rickman, and Jeremy Irons made a lot of money out of this sort of thing. John Pyper-Ferguson blows them all away.As I said up top there, the rest of it is cliché-ridden tosh with little or nothing going for it. The plot (such as it is) is a war movie and has clean shaven Gung-Ho Marines blasting vast numbers of evil-looking, scruffy, unshaven bad-guys (sometimes in slow motion*) and has just had SF element nailed onto it because... I dunno, maybe they got the SFX cheap.As soon as the Rookie is teamed up with the Beloved Old Sargeant at the start of the movie you know that a/. the BOS is going to be dead by the end of the reel and b/. the Rookie will have redeemed himself with a selfless act of valour by the end on the film.As soon as battle-hardened, sexy, young Marine is teamed up with innocent, Liberal, female diplomat (they obviously hate each other's guts on sight) you know that a/. they will end up in bed and b/. the innocent Liberal female diplomat will be blasting evil-looking, scruffy, unshaven bad guys by the end of the second act.The film ends weirdly. It's a very anti-climactic ending after all the pyrotechnics and mayhem that leads up to it. It just stops. Rookie shoots Evil guy dead and manages to get himself killed as well - somehow - it's not very clear quite what happens. Then there is a quick Marine and Diplomat in bed moment. Then suddenly a shot that was obviously done as a gag on set. Credits. Bizarre.So if you like watching men in uniform shoot scruffy biker types so stupid they stand up in plain sight while millions of people shoot at them This is the movie for you. Where do these megalomaniac villains get all their disposable goons from anyway? Is there some sort of Central Casting for Bad Guys. "Hi I'm a Megalamonic Villain set on Global Domination, I'd like to hire 200 idiots who can't shoot fish in a barrel please".* By the way. How is it in crap like this, bullets make big, messy holes in people, whereas grenades just toss them up in the air to do nice, graceful somersaults? ...and why are all spaceships fitted with an 'Auto Destruct' button - even freighters, as in this movie? Trucks don't have an auto destruct button, cars don't, planes don't - so why do spaceships? (Answers on a postcard please).

michael1951 CAUTION: SLIGHT SPOILER IN LAST PARAGRAPH, although I try to keep it vague.This is the kind of movie you've got to be a fan of one of the cast or you probably won't want to bother seeing it. Considering Meg Foster's one of my favorites, I obviously took the time to look at it.One interesting feature is the interplay between some of the characters. The most obvious is that between Zack Delano (played by Billy Wirth) and Dar Mullins (played by Cady Huffman).The not-quite-so-obvious interplay, though, is that between Capt. Gray (played by Edward Albert) and Cmdr. Lasser (played by Meg Foster). Meg puts on that ice-queen persona that she can be so good at, playing the cool and disciplined starship commander, obviously not liking having to kowtow to galactic bureaucrats, but putting up with it and insisting that her subordinates like Capt. Gray do likewise.Until, in the end, she and Capt. Gray finally DO see eye-to-eye on something, he kind of gives her a thumbs-up, and she gives a VERY slight smile, just a little breaking of that iciness but kind of sweet.

boondocksaint20 I'm dead serious. I caught this one during a Showtime free preview weekend real late at night, drunk off my ass. I must say though, it wasn't that bad. The acting was fairly decent and John Pyper-Ferguson's Colonel Fraser was just an awesome bad guy. I'm serious, this unknown actor actually did an incredible job in an otherwise average B-movie. The action scenes ranged from p***-poor (rifles that eject spent casings, but make laser sounds?!?) to pretty cool. This was a better than average direct to video flick and not a bad way to kill some time though cliched as hell. I give it a 5/10.
