Pure and simple: A severe Acid Trip

Rating: 4/10 (10 August 2013)

I have to say that the plot is compelling and the thought processes placed in the story are deep, profound and thought-provoking. However... yes, my dear Readers, there is a however: Several intricate portions of the movie ruined it for me in a severe way. First off, I am not a fan of the make-up artistry of the time. They simply try too hard to make the movie 'look ' futuristic, and fail miserably. The effects were poor, obviously, as a person spoiled by the effects to be found in movies nowadays. The fights are poorly choreographed, with more emphasis on the witty quips and dialogue instead of the fight going on.
The acting is also very poor. The dialogue is very unstable, the conversations between two characters feeling like both have a bad stuttering problem. I have seen Harrison Ford make good movies, and this is not one of them. Poorly made, even for the time.
Like I said, the plot is good, with the thought processes behind the movie quite strong. But plot isn't the only thing in a movie, and when those are at fault, the whole film suffers. 3-5 out of 10.
