Kubrick didn't ask to be overrated did he?

Rating: Null/10 (6 April 1999)

Oh dear, oh deary,deary me.... Ageing like a vintage Lambrusco Bianco, this turgid offering doesn't even have the decency to come in after 90 minutes. 1970's future-world-views can often be embarrassing (Rollerball anybody?) and this beauty truly flies the flag of naff. A stab at getting political in the later stages is as sad as seeing the Mighty Darth sitting in his y-fronts (yes, it really happens). Over-rated doesn't even touch it. That reminds me, I must see Thin Red Line again.....
