Two cups Starship Troopers
One cup Fifth Element
A dollop of Star Wars
A dash of Pitch Black
and the zest from one Firefly
Voila, a culinary marvel!
Considering the usual fare for SciFi's Saturday menu, this was unexpectedly satisfying. I think they've taken the money from all the culinary disasters they've been putting out and have started to make something slightly better than normal.
If given the choice to be the shepherd or the sheep... be the wolf.
I thought the movie was amusing-in-an-icky-way ('cus I don't do bugs!), because one could count how many tropes the scriptwriter/s copied from other movies... ...very little "Star Wars" after all, and a whole lot of "Firefly," "Starship Troopers," "The Fifth Element," some tech traces of "Johnny Mnemonic" and "The Matrix," a very small bit of "X-Men," and a dash of "The Hunt for Red October" at the very end with the missiles...
...actually, speaking of Trek (since Connor *is* a Trek actor), Naked Chick is less "X-Men"-y and more like those people in ST "Insurrection" (was that the one? Picard and the babe?)--immortal? or just very-long longevity? (??) (did that come out right?)
Besides, it's Connor--I'll bet you that a third of the viewers were grrls tuning in to watch Connor, another third to watch James, and the rest were hangers-on from watching "Serenity" which aired before it (great way to kill a tv-movie, Sy-Fy Channel!)
Can't forget Blake's 7 where it all began.
shareAnd to make it all complete: a tea spoon of Event Horizon and a hint of Alien... ;-)
But with all those interesting ingredients, the cook serves something quiete lame, the man is a cliche-king!
