Only for the special effects

Rating: 3/10 (4 February 2001)

I didn't like any piece of this movie that wasn't added by computers. Seriously, the acting was bad, the plot was corny and overall I found myself laughing at some of the supposedly serious moments. The special effects were fantastic, though! I mean, I won't tell you what they involve, but they are amazing! I was absolutely amazed by some of the things they did. Special effects usually can do two things: add to the story (Forrest Gump), subtract from the story. In this movie, however, they are the story. There is no other reason to watch this movie, in my mind. The only neat part of the movie that wasn't a special effect was in the last scene of the movie, something sparkles, adding a nice little smile to the end of the movie. Other than that, I think my dog could have written this movie.
