The Last Word.

Rating: 3/10 (2 October 2000)

In a movie so concerned with showing how plausible its plot is...in a movie that goes out of its way to show scenes explaining in scientific detail what needs to be done and what is happening...in a movie with amazingly intricate special effects work...WHY DID THEY SHOW A FIRE BURNING IN THE VACUUM OF SPACE. Whatever good points this movie may have had up to that point, the filmmakers lost me at that PRECISE instant. Those of you who have seen it multiple times (you know who you are), you know the moment I'm talking about. It's at some point after one of the shuttles crash-landed and the camera wanders over the wreckage...there's the flames and SMOKE. C**p. C**p, c**p, c**p. That's all I have to say about that.
