Plausability, all we ask for is a bit of plausibility

Rating: 3/10 (11 March 2006)

I like big dumb action movies. They do entertain. Suspending disbelief is part of the requirement for enjoying this type of flick. But they should at least make an effort, please at least a little, at making it plausible. This movie makes minimal, if any, effort at doing so. Here is a short list of some of the inexplicable stupidity (presented in free-form quick-cuts, just like the movie): fire in space(need oxygen for that kids), gravity on an asteroid, an asteroid the looks more like a comet, exploding debris from a space station that leaves neighboring shuttles untouched, space suits that never run out of oxygen, apparent wind (in space) blowing the smoke and vapors from the shuttle crash.
Oh, and don't get me started on the clichéd action sequences and bad dialog. This review would go on and on, and I would bore you, but probably not as bad as this loud flashy stinker would.
Only the decent special effects saved this from hitting bottom with me.
