Almost great...

Rating: 7/10 (26 July 2006)

The story is there, the special effects are there; we are only short of actors.
Jeff Goldblum and Judd Hirsch combine to wreck this movie, while everyone else does a good job. Their constant bickering, and posturing, is annoying and undershadows better performances.
Pullman, Smith, Loggia, and especially Randy Quaid are the ones to watch, and almost save the movie. I am disappointed however, because this could have been one of the best of all time.
Goldblum and Hirsch, in my opinion, relegate this movie to B status. I still rate it 7/10 for effort, pathos, and fun!
