A Very Special Film
Well, it was an experience. A film that we've been looking forward to for some time, continuing a character from "Pitch Black" which was cheesy in the "Blade" sense, but fun and with some admirable qualities, supported by some very good actors and actresses.... we thought we were in for a real treat. The film was:
Having now seen it, accompanied by Ian's sister and her husband Jon, and a lot of Haagen-Daz, I cannot impress upon you enough what a bad idea it would be to go and see this film. I so wish I had managed to speak to someone who had already seen it before frittering away two hours of not just my life, but Ian's and Ruth's and Jon's too!!
Where do I start? The dodgy (well, truthfully, almost non-existent) plot? The cheesy-beyond-belief catchphrases? The painfully retarded dialogue?
Ian said that its only redeeming features were a few superb CG sequences (and although I agree that they were superb, I don't think anything could have redeemed this film - the sequences were about all that stopped me from starting to throw things around, bounce obnoxiously in my seat, pinch my neighbours, or start to tickle them to relieve the boredom).
I think it's not too much to say that this was possibly the worst film that either of us have ever seen. We had quite high expectations, as we liked the character and the trailers looked quite exciting, but the reality was so crushingly bad that we could hardly stop ourselves from giggling hysterically on the way home when Ian gravely attempted to discuss the plot with me.
This film has an awful lot to answer for. I predicted that all it would be was a w*nk, and I was right!! But hey, don't just take my word for it, click on the image above to see the Internet Movie Database's review of this dreadful waste of money.
