If you enjoy 2.5 hour commercials, this is your movie.

Rating: Null/10 (23 June 2002)

Lets see, Steven Spielberg had to find a way to pay for 'A.I.' and 'Minority Report' so why not sell the real estate? Product placement is one thing and certainly the powers that be at Fox saw this script as a perfect way to not only get a way with product placement but out and out commercials - so they did - and Spielberg let them get away with it (and maybe even encouraged them, who knows). It's a visually brilliant film, full of action and an okay, if not predictable plot that yes, mirrors the Indiana Jones movies and a few others but pales in comparison. The performances are fine, and two scenes are even brilliant, but every time another Gap or Pepsi or Lexis commercial came on the screen - which was often- I totally left the film and fumbled for the non-existent remote. So after paying to see the film, watching the commercials before the film - then during the film - I think they owe me money and a few hours of my time.
