The ship should have been the star!

Rating: 2/10 (29 December 1999)

We waited until it was on video to watch it, suspecting, rightly, that the stars would be agonizing and the story ridiculous, and it was a relief to be able to fast forward through the silly parts. But the visual detail of the ship was impressive; in fact, we thought it was a shame the ship couldn't have been the star. What a movie they could have made centered around the physicality of the ship, its size and power, its ultiimate demise, perhaps using the ship's officers and crew in multiple, interlocking stories.
