Hopefully this is the nail in the coffin...

Rating: 1/10 (8 November 2003)

What utter piffle. I have never in all my life experienced such plodding sci-fi piffle. This film finally and unequivocally shows up all the staid wooden (sub) acting, modish pandering and vacuous excess of the series which wasn't evident the first time around when everyone seemed so unabashedly wowed (!!). Besides the tiresome mumbo jumbo and AMAZING SPECIAL EFFECTS (t.m.) there doesn't seem to be much of substance here (as if there ever was to begin with).
Abysmal twaddle. 1/10
*Has anyone recently re-watched the embarrassment that is the original. Who could have though? When the over zealous mob subsides there is not much left but a party hat and a broken hard drive.
