GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

oftend Since the early 80s, it seems the only way to convey a "bad guy" in a sci-fi movie is to use a guttural, speaking-while-burping, type voice most commonly associated with Dr. Claw in the cartoon version of "Inspector Gadget". That voice is SO PLAYED now that I literally have to just stop whatever is using it and walk away because I find it so annoying and irritating. This movie had a chance, albeit a tiny one, for me as I enjoy sci-fi with a good larf to it but that chance evaporated as soon as the "bad guy" made his appearance and sounded like Dr. Claw. It's weak, stupid, trite, LAZY and awful. NO MORE DOCTOR CLAW PLEASE!!!! Please, God, PLEASE!! LOL What a star studded cast too. Justina Evans, who's been associated with all things silly, was a nice add. Poor John Neville, who must have rued the day he signed the contract for this A-Bomb, could have saved this. And my favorite, Tim Russ from "Star Trek: Voyager" - who also could have saved this.Why did this potential serial fail? First, because they went with a script that had no ending! Even if you plan on sequels or an entire TV series, the big "crisis" that draws the audience in has to have some kind of resolution with an obvious hint that more such adventures are to come. This movie just dead-ended with plot holes everywhere you could drive a truck through. Second, the special effects were just god-awful. "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" was out at this exact same time and even with a different nose prosthesis for each species separating out the various space characters (Note to Star Trek, be more creative please! Tentacles shouldn't be out of the question), the special effects in DS9 were infinitely better than this piece of dog doo! Honestly - drooling, fanged-manta-ray puppets?! C'MON! Last, BORING! This was so god awful boring and silly and hokey and just inspidly stupid it never should have seen a millisecond on air. Worst movie EVER! (And I sat through all of "Howard the Duck" - IN THE THEATRE!) You know what's really sad? To date, the 1959 version of this title still sets the high bar. Even the most recent production wasn't as interesting to me as the original. Sad.I gladly give this a 1. They got it the old fashioned way, they EARNED it. *grin*

TEXICAN-2 This was a piece, and not a good one. The 'updating' was stupid. The moronic synthesizer was lame, and nothing even close to what was needed. Of course, with what was on the screen, maybe it was the best inspiration that the composer could get, OR, the budget could afford. To have taken what Verne wrote and stayed with that context would have been excellent. This is more like something from Edgar Rice Borroughs, and a really poor attempt at his work. I guess that if you were four years old in 1993 and knew nothing better, this would be a good show. However...... Oh, and the constant narrative by the "hero" was annoying. It would be good to heed the advise of all the others (and me) and pass on this one. You won't regret missing this one.

jclem This movie shames the original and takes script-writing to an all-time low. Some of the effects were interesting, but the dialog was so bad and the characters so stereotyped, I couldn't finish watching it. 35 minutes was all I could tolerate.Unless you enjoy really bad movies, avoid this one entirely.

Malc-3 Hysterically awful TV update of the classic story clearly (or hopefully) wasted most of its budget on beer, because the special effects stretch to little more than a bloke in a bizarre furry white suit and a dizzily-whizzing, chirpy female head in a bubble (which may remind Brit viewers of a certain recent Building Society Ad). And F. Murray Abraham's in it! It's less than a decade since the Oscar, for God's sake, 'F'! But its fun. GREAT fun. Watch it AFTER the pub, as I'm ashamed to say I did not, and its a classic.
