Awful beyond belief...a new benchmark for bad filmmaking

Rating: Null/10 (14 May 1999)

The truest expression of what Ed Wood would've done with a big budget. There are so many lapses in logic and so many plot holes that the film borders on the incomprehensible at times. Anyone else notice the third group of aliens in the big climactic firefight, y'know, the ones that never appeared before or after? Or, where did the big mechanical duck alien trapped in the tomb go--that is, where was his body when Bruce & Co. show up? If Milla Jovovich was such a perfect specimen of humanity, how come she gets her butt kicked not once but TWICE by aliens, once completely obliterated when her spaceship is blown up (besides, with 300 years head start technologically, you'd think the mechanical ducks would be able to avoid having their ships destroyed so easily) and again when she evokes Bruce Lee, gets her butt promptly kicked, and spends the rest of the film doing her impression of Sharon Stone on painkillers in Casino so Bruce has to carry her around. How were they supposed to get the necessary item from the Big Blue Diva (suppose circumstances had been more pleasant?)? Other ludicrousness: Gary Oldman's hair and accent, not to mention having the Evil Planet on his speed-dial; way too much stuttering; what was that stuff on Gary Oldman's forehead (if blood, where was the wound?)?; the duck aliens taking away the artifact because WE couldn't take care of it...and the list is endless... The ineptness of this film is awe-inspiring.
