A real "no-brainer"

Rating: Null/10 (31 March 1999)

Americans Save The World - Hoorah!! A meteor bigger than Luke Perry's ego hurtles towards earth and only Bruce Willis and his bunch of mining misfits can save us, and they do. By saying that I cannot say I have given away the,(ahem), plot. You cannot tell me that you didn't know that in the end everybody was going be alright, and the world saved. This is Hollywood to the max.
Nothing of the "sci" in this "sci-fi" is evident - it is totally unbelievable. You can suspend reality so far while watching a movie, but not this far. It is tripe - and the love story made me want to hurl. In parts, it manipulates the viewer to potential sympathy. I combated that by yelling at the movie - telling it to "hurry up and save the world!" and assuring the pretty young girl, Lyv Tyler "Don't worry. I'm sure your boyfriend is still alive!"
On the plus side, there are a few funny jokes and Lyv Tyler is a spunk. Grrr.
I did not expect much of this movie. However I did not anticipate a movie worse than that other disaster movie, Deep Impact. This movie derserves a big pan, and I enjoyed giving it one.
