Highly entertaining

Rating: Null/10 (26 July 2004)

I want to say this makes a good family film but there is this one stupid pointless scene with Will Smith naked in the shower. If that whole scene was cut from the movie, nothing would be missed. It was tasteless and gratuitous.
The plot was surprising and intriguing with lots of interesting twists. The special effects were very good. If you like action and science fiction (or Will Smith's bare backside) then you'll like this movie.
It's gotten to the point that, if the movie is interesting and doesn't have a lot of foul mouth language, it's probably worth seeing. I was surprised to see Will Smith's language controlled to a dull roar. I think comedians that use foul language to get laughs didn't learn anything from Lenny Bruce.
The supporting cast was good too. Go see it. It's worth the $8.50 a ticket I suppose, depending on your budget. Movies are so expensive now. I think the whole movie industry needs to reinspect its navel and figure out how to decrease ticket prices. But I'm guilty of paying the ransom so it's fair to call me a hypocrite, but it doesn't make it right all the same.
