Worst movie I've seen in a long time

Rating: 1/10 (19 March 2000)

This movie stinks from the opening scenes to the last. I'm the first to allow a lot of willing suspension of disbelief, but this went too far. The beginning explosion in space features flames and noise - neither are possible in space. The scenes on the asteroid contradict not only common sense but the movies own description of what gravity is like on the asteroid (one minute the characters sail off into space, the next they are jumping around and falling down. And finally the heroic end of the movie is witnessed all over the world, shown with scenes from heartland America to Asia - all during day time! Daylight all over the world in Bay's mind. And you could see it shining through his ears. He's a moron with too much money. Well, I guess that sort of defines Hollywood. Beyond that, the portrayal of 'roughnecks' is the director's own idiotic imaginings, The love story simply got in the way and was infantile anyway. The music blew, too.
