Negative review backfire


I probably would have skipped this one if not for the way these negative reviews are worded.

Watching now, will report back with an honest assessment of the actual film quality rather than just reactionary political statements.




Movies are IQ tests; the IMDB boards are how people broadcast their score.

Ok watched.

It is pretty much a high-end made-for-TV movie with better than average production values, casting, editing, and acting. I found it entertaining enough that I didn't feel I'd wasted my time.

It's worth watching, but doesn't really deserve the hyperbolic vitriol. It's hardly a scientific lecture, but it definitely has a point to make.

It won't change your religion or alter your consciousness, so it's probably safe to watch.

It is available on Amazon for $4 if you really think it is worth watching. I watched most of it (for free) when it was first up there for being Amazon subscriber. I could not finish it because it was just so bad, so my review actually only covers the first 65 min.
