Such a stupid, stupid movie.


According to the creators of this film:

- Dallas, Texas is located in the desert.

- Dallas, the 2nd largest metropolitan area in the USA, has no suburbs.

- North Texas is full of sinkholes and prehistoric cave lines.

- All people from Dallas speak with unintelligible southern drawls.

- A man can wear thin clothes in the coldest and most hostile month of Antarctica.

- A man can rent a several million dollar costing snowtreader and bypass government laws forbidding people to enter Antarctica (due to extreme weather conditions) in just two days.

- Bees can pollinate corn.

- Cavemen lived in North America.

- A bee can stay alive in the shirt collar of a person who is running/doing extreme activity for over a day without being squished or needing to eat.

- A direct gunshot to the forehead apparently equals a grazed temple wound (which would still most likely be fatal).

- A major top secret doomsday alien government facility is immediately located just miles outside of the country's 8th largest city.

And those are just the factual flaws. The issues in pacing and characterization are beyond grating, and it's stupid that a film serve as the midseason plot of something that wasn't even that interesting. If you're going to intergrate a TV show movie's plot into the show, do it as a season finale or something, not in the middle of a boring season. Now, two decades later, the film makes no sense and isn't interesting in the slightest unless you watch the show. Mostly the Texas stuff annoys me more than anything...didn't anyone in that studio come from Texas? Couldn't any of them say "hey, Dallas is located in the forest, no the desert."

Thank you for your observations. I will give them the appropriate amount of consideration the next time I watch this movie.
