I sat through it as a child but.............

Rating: 3/10 (1 November 2012)

Although I actually waded through this movie in my early teens I could no longer watch it. And yes, I do like "slow" movies with extended scenes to add to the atmospheric nature. I'm not a fan of the modern shoot-em-up sci-fi genre. I do have a brain (I'm a 2200+ elo chess player). I am capable of understanding the thought processes of a director and I am not a soap opera watching moron. The fact of the matter is that this film is slow, boring, and absolutely miss-able. I agree fully that most fans of this awful movie have been struck down with The Emperor's New Clothes syndrome and need to get out more. It is tedious to the extreme. It is overrated and would make watching a nail rust in the rain seem worthwhile. In case I haven't made myself clear; this time bloated waste of an evening is a none film. Fans of it can criticise my intellectual capacity all they like. They are as wrong about me as they are about this awful movie.
