a new standard for awful

Rating: 1/10 (17 January 2006)

this is my first comment ever on a web film site; was curious what other reactions were to see if i was being a curmudgeon. apparently not... how does garbage like this get made?! did a grade 2 student write it? how do people freeze in seconds yet our intrepid trekkers sit out the storm in comfort & style in an exposed tent half-clad, munchin on some franks & beans. wooden, clichéd dialogue, ham-fisted moralising, cheapest dramatic devices (our First family of heroes even has mom staying put with a cancer ward Peter...) there really is no end to the awfulness of this movie. i admit it was like watching a car accident; i stuck around to see just how bad it could possibly get. the wolves...the gutenberg bible (in ny public?!). quaid flashing that cornball grin as new york lies buried beneath him...i was only half surprised that some mutant tomatoes didn't resue the whole lot. somebody please explain who produces (and attends!) such dross. at least in towering inferno we got a great line from gun-toter heston: "when are they gonna stop makin em so g----m high?" when are they gonna stop makin movies this g----m bad? :)
