Typical Hollywood Claptrap

Rating: Null/10 (8 May 2003)

I did not find this to be a very memorable film. I dont remember this film real well because it was a few months ago that I watched it, but it was pretty dull, a lot of people just sitting around discussing if its a good idea or not and how the american people would react to it, it became much more of just a political drama. The thing that made me the most angry about this film was that it was supposed to be a sci-fi, and it really isnt, not much special effects, no making actual visual contact with another lifeforce, just a lot of talk. It also bugged me that people liked this film due to "Jodie Foster's performance", thats just plain stupid, Im sorry to offend anyone, but you dont see a sci-fi just for performances, she wasnt very good in this anyway in my opinion. Who is this James Berdenilli dude, he gave this movie **** out of ****, I think he might need to have his head examined, as well as Roger Ebert. ** out of *****.
