Should have stayed a Comic Book

Rating: 3/10 (14 December 2005)

A ride to outer space to witness a cosmic storm to experiment on human DNA goes bad when the storm appears earlier than predicted and has life changing effects on the DNA of the crew. Oh, oh!
Yes, this should have stayed a comic book fantasy or maybe someone else should have put this together. There was something very wrong from the very beginning to the very end. Remember when we used to watch some movies and we would see the mouth move and hear the words a little later on? Well, this wasn't exactly like that, but close enough. The dialogues were all low-key and monotone as though the actors were rehearsing lines instead of being in a movie with the cameras running. Maybe a lot of the dialogue was dubbed in later. Anyway, something was wrong.
The Fantastic Four were: the girl who could become invisible (Alba); the Hulk creature called the Thing(Chiklis); the Plastic Man (Gruffudd); and the Human Torch (Evans). Affected but not one of the good guys was Dr. Doom (McMahon) who interfaced with metals.
Some of the special effects were very good, some were not and it showed. Most of the movie was taken up with the bickering among the Fan-4 and this became most annoying leaving us to wonder when the story would start. Well, there really was no story here and everything was an identity crisis among all.
I don't recall this as a comic book, but I probably would have liked it far better then what I viewed on the DVD. And, the worse thing about all this is that there may be sequels. OMG!
