Train crash (10 minutes?) SO DUMB = turn off immediately.
Now, to finish out the 10 line minimum...a bunch of teenieboppers snag some filming equipment and go to a trainyard in the dead of night to film (what else these days) a zombie movie. A train blows through and crashes after hitting a pickup someone drove onto the track and pointed at the oncoming engine. It's hardly difficult to view clips of how trains in that situation crash; picture instead a train blowing up, flying apart, train cars flying through the air obviously because they were shot from giant canons 20 feet up, bouncing, flying through dark stationhouses while blowing up, leapfrogging over running teenieboppers, etc, while making so much less than the amount of noise they'd make in a real crash they must be made of paper mache with a little metal here and here for fun.
Supposedly this absolute idiocy is all a-OK because its a tribute to 70s' sci fi. Gee, I watched 70s' sci fi in the 70s and never saw anyone pretending train cars flew through the air as SCIENCE FICTION, much less as plain old drama. This is SO incredibly dumb there's clearly no reason at all to waste your time watching any more of the flickiepoo.
Should have known better when seeing ol' "not an original idea in my head, and I love to steal and destroy any good concept I can lay hands on" JJ's name but I thought spielberg might actually be able to save the movie. Wrong.
