GET RID OF THAT 'ANIMAL CRACKER SCENE!'

Rating: 7/10 (2 April 2000)

I really liked this movie! Stupid plot, rediculous characters, cliche-ridden story line. The asteroid was the best character, it beat the humans hands down! It had the most wicked landscape (check out its pointy tails!!) You also get to hear the asteroid growl when it begins to break up.

WARNING: A SPOILER HAS BEEN DETECTED IN THE VICINITY!
Lots and lots of S.F.X. At least two thirds of this flicks' special effects are dedicated to the asteroid, the real star of this film! I did like the way the guy at the beginning asked to have the asteroid named after his wife. She does the fingers at him. We also have Mr Stamper running around an oil rig blasting a shotgun at his daughter's hero boyfriend for sleeping with her on the job. An OIL RIG??? This scene should've been omitted!
My complaint: The romantic sub plot. It was unnecessary and simply slowed the pace. The worst scene I've ever seen in an action movie was the aptly named 'Animal Cracker Scene'. It spoilt the movie and made me physically cringe. The pretty 'bedroom interest' was a typical cliched female, sitting at home waiting for her boyfriend to come in the door. She served no other purpose!
CONCLUSION? Go see this for the asteroid's sake! And don't take the performances by Mr Willis and cast too seriously, or the story for that matter, or you may be sorely disappointed.
