This movie....uh...really sucks!

Rating: 1/10 (30 July 1999)

Uggh! This is one of the nastiest pieces of Hollywood gristle I've ever chewed on. This movie leaves such an ensuing aftertase in your mouth, you might end up watching "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" to free yourself from the trauma. The atrocious dialogue ("It's an organic lifeform!!"), the shoddy acting, and the less-than-impressive CGI effects really make this a movie to clean your catbox with. This piece of cinematic garbage is filled with inconsistencies and scientific snafus (and one teeny tiny computer bug: how can an Apple Mac communicate with an alien server, even though the aliens use a TOTALLY different language and protocol? Jeff Goldblum should have gotten a busy signal!) Another really bad science bug is when the alien screamed, even though Brent Spiner (notwithstanding his lousy Data image) declared it free of vocal chords. Perhaps the saddest parts of the movie come out when Will Smith tries to be funny. All in all, it stinks!
