A Galatic Ishtar (but not as entertaining)

Rating: 3/10 (28 May 1999)

This movie was inexcusably wooden. With the caliber of talent and money that went into this film, it should have been superlative. Instead, it was diminutive.
It's been said that if you had an infinite number of monkeys working infinitely long on an infinite number of typewriters, eventually one of them would type out the works of William Shakespeare.
The special effects were nice, but frankly, so what? Special effects serve only to further the plot, and if the correct plot to effects ratio were maintained, the only special effects you would have needed would be plastic model spacecrafts suspendeded from fishing wire.
Yes, it's that good.
