Better than critics (and viewers here) would like you to think

Rating: Null/10 (7 February 1999)

What is everybody talking about? This movie, about a bunch of oil drillers sent into space to drill a hole in an asteroid and drop a nuke in it before it hits Earth, is awesome! It's entertaining as hell. It may not be very realistic, and that has been most critics' major complaint. Well, STAR WARS wasn't very realistic either, but critics, like the hypocrites they are, always sing its praises. The main reason I enjoyed it was because it would be what me and my friends'd be like if we ever went in space. They're not oil drillers, but they are, to quote Keith David in the movie, "A buncha retards I wouldn't trust with a potato gun!"
