A declaration of silliness

Rating: 3/10 (30 June 2000)

I think this is one of THE WORST sci fi movies EVER made, and that is something considering the category. Its plot is dumb, filled with cliches and awful mistakes. The characters are plain, each one depicting a specific segment of the population or stereotype, in an attempt to be politically correct I guess. I can't believe so many people went to see this film, and I absolutely can't believe that some people actually thought it was a great story. Sure, the special FX are good, but not THAT good. Summer action movies should be exciting AND interesting to watch. This one is almost painful to endure. Finally, What is this fascination that Americans have for tough-guy, real macho, butt-kicking, U.S. Presidents? In this movie (and in Air Force One) we witness the President flying fighter planes (or punching terrorists) and giving the bad guys what they deserve. Oh, Please! As I watched these movies I kept thinking of Bill Clinton saving the world from Aliens or terrorists or whatever. Yeah right.
