Review of The Philadelphia Experiment

I've seen a lot worse than this movie. It's sort of a remake of the old movie of the same name which was definitely better and more engaging. Still, it's visually gorgeous to see the destroyer fall from the sky. To add my own cliché to the movie's, I'd say they built them destroyers well in those days. Unfortunately, the movie is marred by the usual government killers trying to hush the whole thing down with bullets, which is ridiculous when the famous ship happens to fall down on the roof of a skyscraper in the middle of Chicago. It would have been nice to see a movie without this military idiocy let loose. Don't we have enough already in the real world? They could have done a better story with this but decided to go with the tried and wrong. Of course I knew from the start that the bad guys (and girl) would be dealt with and that the good guys (and gorgeous blonde)would make it through. The action is constant, though tedious at times. But we have one of the greatest inventions of all time: a remote with fast forward speed command.That helps wasting time faster. Still, I give it a 6. I have a strange nostalgia for old warships, even if I've never been on one.
