I want my 2 hours back!!!!

Rating: 1/10 (22 October 1998)

Trite, contrived, unbelievable, boring, poorly written, poorly acted....take your pick, they all apply. The plot turned on contrivances and was filled with scenes that were obviously gratuitous (the whole gizmo blows up, but wait!! There's another one in the McDonald's parking lot at 3rd and main and now she can do what we knew she was going to do the whole time).The climax wasn't just anti-climactic, it was nonsensical. It's not that it wasn't easy to understand, they practically hit you over the head. What happened to intelligent movies about the possibility of other life in the universe like '2001' or 'Slaughterhouse Five'? 'Barbarella' had more depth than this thing. Jody Foster can act, but I guess she saves it for her own movies.
