Harrison Ford Zero; Rutger Hauer 10+

Rating: 3/10 (4 February 2007)

The truly wonderful and under-appreciated talent of Rutger Hauer make this movie worth watching even though you have to suffer through the mawkish wooden acting of Harrison Ford (how did that guy make a movie career!?). Special effects, flying machines, settings, weird little creatures and aliens were totally stolen from the original Star Wars. There was a pretty good story in there but it was hard to sift through all the annoying distractions to get to it. Rutger Hauer was the only actor who projected any kind of meaning into his character. Of course, there's always the possibility that was part of the director's intent. These comments are on the director's cut of the movie so I don't know what the "other" ending is. Also, I've not read the book, so I don't know if that would make a difference.
