TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

nebula-37029 Mark Hamill, in this movie, showed that he can play an insane psychopath. Obviously, he has been miscast playing anything else. Bob Peck, who plays the fugitive, puts in an amazing performance. His facial expressions as he learns to have feelings are amazing. This is a strange movie, with a few twists, and the effects are not too good, but the aircraft Mr. Hamill flies is cool.

wb010b4494 Compared with todays frenetic, kinetic, fast cutting, CGI laden crap this actually holds up fairly well. I liked the actors, I liked the characters (each with a clear motivation) and I liked the settings. It was well shot, well edited and well written. And you know what, the story held my interest. Not like a lot of what I see today (story often gets lost over a 'great shot' or pointless effect). Yes, the special fx are very 80's with some matte lines but I am very forgiving about that, this film is over 20 years old after all. Like the original Star Wars Trilogy (before George tinkered with it again, and again, and again), this film is best enjoyed with all it's flaws. A simple film, well told story and great characters. A really good family film.

merklekranz Futuristic for certain, poorly edited for certain, beautiful on location photography for certain, acceptable acting by name cast for certain, uneven score for certain, surreal adventure for certain, disjointed storyline for certain. What is not so certain is the entertainment value of "Slipstream". The movie seems to have a polarizing effect, in other words love it or hate it. I suggest that the stunning visuals are memorable, while the entire screenplay is so jumbled, that it is easily forgettable. The image of a human carrying kite will stay with me long after memory of the film itself has faded into oblivion. - MERK

justaskmonica I couldn't agree more (previous post re: underrated) this movie was a truly entertaining surprise and I have been trying to find it ever since my husband and i rented it one night after pretty much working our way thru the other rentals at our local video store. Our expectations were not particularly high but we ended up really enjoying this film. The premise is not particularly new - post apocalyptic and all...but the approach and the vision presented of earth at this point is truly refreshing. I think it's a shame that it just didn't get the kind of studio support and exposure that it deserved. I definitely recommend it - you won't be sorry, it's just a very interesting, very well put together movie.
