Great action and spectacle....

Rating: 10/10 (29 July 1998)

This movie is getting blasted for it's poor characters. Perhaps the script is a bit weak but on opening night almost every person, male and female, were in tears at the end of the movie. A cardinal rule with characters is if you care about them dying then they are real. We all know scientifically that this movie falters a lot. It's just entertainment and we're supposed to have fun. No one wants to think in the summer. The fx were spectacular and the action was furious at a breakneck pace. With Trevor Rabin's score it gets the adrenaline flowing.
