A "Masterpiece" eh? I don't think so. Not on this planet.

Rating: 3/10 (4 June 2006)

10 Years ago a friend gave me a VHS tape of this movie to watch. He was very enthusiastic about it and thought it was the greatest science fiction movie he had ever seen in his life. I wasn't quit so sure as he was. Even back then I was very skeptical about Brad Pitt and Bruce Willis being able to pull off a legitimate Sci-Fi movie. I never did watch it and lost the tape many years ago. I made the mistake of renting this movie on DVD a few days ago and finally watching it. Now I regret not continuing my initial enthusiasm for this movie. This movie wasn't any good at all. It nearly put me to sleep about half way through. This has never happened to me before watching ANY movie! That should give you some clue as to how good it is. This movie was confused. There was lots and lots of dialog but very little was being said. Perhaps I've failed to see what everyone is seeing in this movie (a sci-fi "masterpiece"? Please!) Maybe I'll go back and take another look, but for now, all I can say is... yawn!
