Ripoff

Rating: 2/10 (28 December 2013)

This movie is a blatant ripoff! The original Star Trek series did it so much better in season 3, episode 21: "The Cloud Minders," which aired February 28, 1969. I'm so desperate for decent Sci-Fi that I even tried Matt Damon. My bad. I wouldn't even place this movie in the Sci-Fi genre. This is nothing more than overly long social commentary regarding the disparity between the rich and the poor. Besides having holes in the plot big enough to drive a truck through, it's extremely predictable. You know within the first twenty minutes exactly what's going to happen. The characters themselves were unremarkable. I suppose Matt Damon played his part the best he could considering the material he had to work with. But I've never seen Jodie Foster so stiff and uncomfortable in a role.
