Worst movie ever

Rating: 1/10 (26 March 1999)

This movie was almost pure, unredeemed awfulness. There were some very pretty shots - someone definitely has a future with National Geographic. The rest was abysmal - incoherent, simple, and with an overpowering ability to cause boredom that was only matched by its sheer length. Its insights were shallow, unoriginal, and repetitive - how on earth could anyone have found this pablum deep? It was around as deep as "thought of the day" calendar. The only thing about it that is at all interesting is how on earth it received an Academy nomination! I realize the Oscars are fairly meaningless - Titanic cleaned up last year! - but still, the emperor has no clothes! I think Thin Red Line was just so awful that people thought there must be something very deep in the movie that they didn't understand, and were too afraid to admit that fact in public.
To sum up - I kept hoping against hope through the movie that someone would shoot out the camera. In the alternative, I was rooting for everyone to die as fast as possible.
