Vastly overrated!

Rating: 5/10 (4 December 2001)

I was floored to see this idiotic movie on the list of IMDB's top 250 movies.
There are so many plot holes and laughable failures in this movie as to make it on my list of the WORST 250 movies.
Let's see, some alien force is advanced enough to take over the world and to create an alternate universe, but can't figure out how to make an energy source to power it all? They have to use human energy? How about cow patties or something like nuclear power? Totally stupid.
And the time-worn concept of the stranger somehow possessing the knowledge to save the world. How brilliantly non-original!
And if you are hurt or killed in this virtual other world, then you somehow die or are hurt in the real world?
This rating just shows how bankrupt Hollywood is; there just isn't much coming out of the mainstream studio system that is challenging and interesting and truly great films.
