Action, comedy and silliness beyond belief

Rating: 8/10 (16 July 2006)

I love this movie and I must have watched it 15 times at least. Its one of those film where you can sit back, switch off your brain and let yourself be enveloped into a world where Evil is trying to take over the universe and there is only one person who can stop it.
It's set 300 years in the future and has a good mix of comedy and action which will please most movie going fans. Plot is reasonably simple and our hero's move through a barrage of set pieces in order to get to conclusion of the movie.
It has a great cast, Willis - Oldman - Jovovich and a lovely little stint from Lee Evans. They all worked well together and they seemed like they were having a lot of fun working on this movie. They all dress in amazing costumes that I hope to hell that we, as a species, never actually start dressing like. Visually stunning you may feel like you have to watch the movie again just to appreciate if fully.
Oldman Pulls off the whole bad guy routine so well, his character is also silly but you can believe that he is as mean as he makes out to be. Chris Tucker plays probably the most annoying person ever to grace the big screen. If he is like that in real life he should be shot. But that was his part and he played it well. His Haircuts alone make the movie worth watching.
Anyway, if you like movies with explosions, hot actors, comedy and a plot line that doesn't requires a masters degree to understand. This is for you. So switch off your brain, engage you popcorn arm and sit back and enjoy this for what it is. A silly space romp!
