This Movie...My, My, My!!!

This has got to be THE WORST MOVIE OF ALL TIME. Even B-movies of the 1940s & 50s pass for Oscar material. Heck, I'd even be willing to campaign for the academy to give Bill Paxton a best actor Oscar for Frailty compared to Vincent Gallo or any of the other no-namers in this piece of crap. What's up with the English being spoken and then being re-dubbed? I guess it's less expensive to produce crap in Spain than it is to produce crap in the U.S. What a waste of 4 dollars to rent this. At least they got their money back because it looks like 4 dollars is all it cost them to make this embarassment of a movie. If you can call it that at all.

If you think this is the WORST MOVIE OF ALL TIME, you obviously didn't see "Gigli." The reason it for the overdub was that although all of the actors spoke English, a few of them had thick accents the producers felt need to be cleaned up. EON did the same thing with Gert Frobe in "Goldfinger," and I didn't hear anyone complaining about that.

I didn't think this film was all that bad, and it was worth the gamble of $2 for the DVD (as the third of a "three-for-$30 previously viewed special" at my local video store -- without it I would have spend $28 for my first two selections).

Granted, there were no high-dollar special effects and all relatively unknown actors (and sometimes I think knowing an actor ahead of time and seeing other his/her performances may distract (e.g. "That's not really Jerry Maguire. That's Tom Cruise!"))this film was entertaining. The ending, although similar to "Mission to Mars," was plausable. I found it an enjoyable hour-and-37-minutes for my two bucks.

federico_zamora, you are the answer to my prayers!! I read the summary writen by an imdb member and they said this movie was great!! Auuggghhh!!

My whole family was laughing throughout it, especcially at that blonde buzz-cut young guy, when he said something like, "we will have to suffer great discomfort" it sounded like a play, there was hardly any emotion in the dialogue at all!!

And that hairy guy who was chosen to stay behind who told the woman who was staying behind that to survive in the last 12 hours, they were to "make each other feel good". WOW!! the girls masterbating speech. Gosh!

What if the world is a black tuxedo and you're a brown shoe??
