Who's the joke on here?

Rating: 1/10 (4 August 2010)

If there is one set of words that should be banned from usage on this website I'd vote for 'Thought provoking'. A phrase that is once again littered throughout an unfathomable amount of positive reviews this clunky effort at filmmaking has somehow garnered. A film so bereft of ideas worth exploring and executed with such inauthenticity, it really has to be seen to be believed.
Let us even forget about the shoddy outfits, the borrowed sets, the stolen characters and the standard Casio Keyboard demo-tunes trying desperately to masquerade as a soundtrack. Let's not even begin to dissect the very premise of the movie which makes as much sense as there being a bar in Saudi Arabia called 'The Shoplifter's Arms'. And let us not ponder the rationale of the first act that wants us to believe that a costly mining operation on the moon would be left in the capable hands of one fully dysfunctional and psychotic human clone with a operational lifespan of apparently 2 years but going on 4.
People, it's time to call a spade a spade and this is just turd-fiction, aimed pointblank at the lowest common denominator. People who have never read a science-fiction book, have never watched a star trek episode and to whom 2001 is just a date on a grub-stained calendar still clipped to the fridge.
Why is it nowadays, that unoriginality is uniformly praised, blatant theft of ideas is applauded, asinine plot points are gulped like morning coffee and vapidity is so readily mistaken for often the exact opposite?
This movie scores well on this and other movie related websites, the relevance of its services soon warranting total disregard and ridicule.
