Very Cool!!!
The greatest movie ever made..!
everything you have heard about this movie is true.
True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
Just bad. Bad acting. Bad story line. Stupid plot.
Well worth a watch , and boy how some of the newer cgi based movies could learn from the visually superb film backed by a rock solid story , well written some great choices for actors bar 1-2 , well worth a watch for your sci-fi collection.
If this was a spoof movie in a genre that was for spoofs, it would be good. This was a serious and terribly written with ideas that would have been left on the cutting room floor of other movies. So hopeful with the big names and was completely disappointed.
DePalma is famous for stealing script ideas and copying other preceding directors (Hitchcock) who did it better. He's a sad case of too much money and no talent. This is what he'd produce if he just had sex with Disney and immediately after restarted his Prozac. The film starts like a hundred others--brief glimpses into everyone's personas/lives with the usual bedroom humor and moms and dads over the barbees just to let us know they are 'one of us', just reglar folk! Then suddenly they are all astronauts bouncing around no gravity cabins and walking on Mars. The first crew runs into a mean genie who kills all except the Black fella (how pc). The others break the rules to retrieve him only to lose two of themselves in space (one gets iced and the other elopes with dead aliens). There are I think allusions to the Bible (Eve is the big faced statue, mother of us all), theory of chaos (asteroid strike/how Buddhist), and even transsexuals (the alien doesn't appear to have any sex). Lots of off key heavenly choirs singing in the background and doors open and close. Most of the actors appear weary or stunned and look like they regret having signed on. Why are American films sooooo baaaaad? Mafias control them, that's why.
