I'm pleased to read so many bad reviews

Rating: 4/10 (11 March 1999)

I've been reading the comments and am very encouraged to read so many reviews trashing this stupid film. My co-workers loved this movie and think of me as a snob for revealing what a piece of garbage it is. No need for me to reiterate why I think it's so bad. The reviews before me did a much better job than I could.
I am disheartened, however, to know that it made a ton of money and will encourage Hollywood to spew out more swill like it, instead of thought-provoking science fiction like "Contact" and "Blade Runner" because those type of films don't make as much money.
To those of you in power in Hollywood, PLEASE LISTEN! Read these reviews and learn. If you're going to spend a lot of money on terrific special effects and a star-studded cast, spend some money on a terrific science-fiction writer (for a change) and let him/her write what he/she wants with no or little studio interference. A science fiction movie can have great effects, great cast, lots of action, AND smarts. And it can make money too, if you promote it right.
