Spectacular vision, but still a bummer!

Rating: 4/10 (6 July 2004)

With all the $ that have gone into this movie for the computer graphics, one would have thought that the producers could have purchased a slightly believable script to go with them!.. The story is atrocious, so far-fetched and unbelievable, that I found it hard to enjoy the spectacular vision generated by computer technology. The ridiculous story line was so out of whack, that the audience when I attended the movie were laughing outright which clearly destroyed any chance of it being a successful film. There were so many errors in the geography of the film, plus completely unrealistic and nigh impossible rescue situations that leaves you wondering "why bother?" The ship floating down the street, missing buildings, was a real "hoot". The actors tried very hard, with Ian Holm being the true professional, but with that story line, I am amazed they could keep a straight face!
