My God, what a waste!

Rating: 1/10 (6 December 1998)

This is one of the worst films I've ever seen. I read that Bruce Willis was upset that the audience was laughing during the supposedly serious parts of the film. He's got some nerve. This film is one of the most trite, cliche-ridden exercises ever with not a single original moment in it. I believe Liv Tyler has a smile on her face through the whole thing because she knows it's so bad. Unfortunately, browsers can't rate films a "0" at IMDb. The only slightly mitigating factors here are the performances of Keith David and Billy Bob, which are tongue-in-cheek (I hope!), and the NASA geeks. Otherwise, rent "2001" or "Outland" or even "Deep Impact", all of which are more entertaining.
