The best sci-fi thrill-ride ever?

Rating: 8/10 (14 May 1999)

OK, it may not have the greatest story, or even the greatest actors, but as entertainment goes, you are not likely to find any better movie. It has all the fun, all the SFX, all the beautiful women, all the aliens, all the "terminal threats" you'll ever need. It's one of the greatest. OK. You might say that the original Star Wars movie kicks it, but I'd say you're wrong. I love Star Wars, but this is a totally different category. This movie is about the laughs, about the thrills, about the "wow"'s and about that all-American-feel. And I loved it! They actually made all that crap from Forrest Gump work. It's all about how mighty, how powerful the US of A actually is. I give it a ten. Don't even hesitate to see this. Goldblum and Smith are incredible; this is the mother of all one-liners!
And in case you wondered... I'm not even American. I still loved it. I watched it 5 times in the movie theater, and probably 10 times on the VCR. And I'm still not done with it. Go see it if you're after the fun. If you want an art movie, watch Pi. Other than that... enjoy!
