Comic-Book for Adults

Rating: 8/10 (28 December 2003)

I really do not understand all the bile and hatred thrown towards this movie. Okay,it has glaring plot-holes like basic physics (fire in space,explosions, Space Shuttle flown like a Jet-Fighter) but hey, I was ENTERTAINED.
I loved the weird idea of oil-drillers (!) being flown to an asteroid and trying to save the world. Its so silly,you simply have to smile.
Kudos to the cast, Steve Buscemi is awesome, his lines are beyond funny. Everybody had obviously a lot of fun shooting this movie. My most loved scene is probably the "psychological test",where they are all interviewed by Udo Kier (as a shrink). Come on, this is really classic Stuff! I laughed my balls off!! Another revelation is Peter Stormare as Lev Andropov ("He's been out there for a long time"). He left me in stitches.
A.J.: Have you ever heard of Evel Knievel? Lev Andropov: No, I never saw Star Wars.
Ok,at this point the whole movie turns into a true comedy peppered with great FX. Do I mind ? No way,give me more !!
Comedy Goldmine.
