Hollow Man (2000)
3/10
Can we say "B List" movie. Let this be Shue's last Sci Fi.
21 August 2000
To the person below who asked What is wrong with all of us (moviegoer99) I checked out the comments you gave of several movies, especially Saving Private Ryan. You gave it your so called rating of 1 out of 10. Then I checked out your other movies you consider top 10, seems like your genre of movies is not typical of one that that enjoy movies that are too confusing or boring for your brain. Apart from that there is a scene where Kevin is about to rape a woman, it is too bad they took that away. The movie could've revolved around actual terror on the streets or whatever than run around the lab and killing idiots. The movie was practically stupid in the first half and it got even more stupid near the end. I don't see how someone (even in a movie) gets stabbed with a freaken crowbar making huge deep cuts then is able to climb ladders in a couple minutes later. 17 bucks gone down the drain with my friend, he actually enjoyed the movie.. but his entertainment choice is similar to moviegoer99. You can't pick all your movieg oing friends. Yeah.. Elizabeth Shue as a scientist is very realistic and that love chemistry between her and another scientist is very realistic. Right. Note, people in the theatre was actually laughing at the movie and at Shue's lackluster acting. This movie was surely not intended for comical purposes. This movie is a B list.

Fantasia 2000 (1999)
7/10
Waste of money on a very boring movie.
28 April 2000
Spent $12 to watch it before it closed on April 30, 2000. I enjoyed the whale scene. I enjoyed the Noah's Ark scene. I enjoyed the ending. Why the heck did Disney put in two bit has been movie actors/actresses to make a 30 second commentary? Most of the other scenes are old redone scenes .. just refitted IMAX style... Just like the original Fantasia movie, very boring.. except for the scenes that I told you were good enough to consider watching... It's too bad Disney decided to trick unknown money spenders like me to watch this short term project... here's some clues... Disney's 1999 Tarzan is better and more enjoyable than this crap. I give it some points for the IMAX use but what a waste of energy. Other people in these reviews are on some anti-depressant or something because this movie deserves more punishment than worship.

Blade Runner (1997 Video Game)
6/10
Such a disappointment to a great movie.
20 December 1999
Warning: Spoilers
Beat the game in 8 hours. Maybe for others 5 or 10 hours. The game had a lot of potential, but the outdated animations and chance gameplay pretty much ruined it. Westwood must've spent a lot of time creating this game as close to 2000 since the game came out in 1997, They are still having the game in the spotlight on their westwood website. I'd play this game once and check out several endings then resell it or give it away... it's not worthy of true gaming experience.

Why do people consider this film the best of the series?
7 December 1999
Raiders of the Lost Ark : Excellent, Temple of Doom : Pretty Good, and last The Last Crusade : Boring. I don't know what happened while viewing the movie, I know I was dozing off because it was so freaking boring. I didn't quite get the young Indiana Jones thing and the Sean Connery part where he plays Indiana's father. People probably mention that Temple of Doom was really bad... and it was probably due to the Asian cast in the film. The Last Crusade is the dumbest movie out of the rest of the series.

Glad I'm not a Canadian.
30 October 1999
If the Canadians that are represented in the film as a bunch of british wannabes whose accent sound as slow as a New York Bronx resident, then I will continue to always regard Canadians as dumber than the average American bear. I have never watched the cartoon, but it is no excuse to be extremely corny and flat out totally dumb. There was another film called Inspector Gadget that took it's idea from cartoon, though it wasn't exactly like the cartoon, there were many elements which made up for it unlike Dudley Dooright. I didn't finish watching the movie because it was becoming an eyesore/earsore to continue watching a bunch of British wannabe Canadians trying to make the film funny.

One crappy movie.
4 September 1999
Before I comment, I have to comment on the users who wrote that you have to check your brain and enjoy watching the movie, or just watch the movie for action and not the story line or actual character developement. And I'm sure they would point out to me that I shouldn't be critical of this film when I wasted 1 hour and 45 minutes hoping it would have alot of sci-fi action, I know whose got the higher IQ. I expected the usual sci fi action in this movie after renting it from Blockbuster, and it did say sci fi action on the vhs tape as well. However during the movie, I noted that the characters are like a bunch of stick figures just waiting for some cue man to tell them what to do next. Everyone acted so freaken stupid in the movie, and most notably Keanu Reeves p**s poor acting, The Matrix made him look really good with the fighting. Peace I gave this movie rating a 1.

This movie felt like a very bad episode
3 July 1999
I have been a Star Trek fan since 1989 and have seen much better Star Trek : Next Generation episodes than this, This movie felt like a boring two part episode rather than a big rousing movie. Why does Crusher and Troi keep coming back to this movie, those two women never played much roles in the Star Trek movies, I guess Mr. Riker doesn't want to kill them off... I think they should get killed off then come back in another movie or.. not. How about a little more emphasise on other characters rather than focus on Data/Worf/Picard all the time, Please put more focus on Riker/Troi/Crusher/Laforge/or other characters. I want something huge and spectacular.. not some.. movie that's made to empty pockets of Trek fans.

Virus (1999)
1/10
This movie was very boring.
3 July 1999
This movie was a load of crap, In the preview commercials. It had "From the producers of Alien and Terminator" comes Virus. I expected to see some serious scary sci fi thriller, but instead this movie was extremely predictable... on what will happen next and blah blah blah. There wasn't enough information about this "Virus" entity, just a bunch of electricity zapping around and scaring ship scavengers. This movie blatently tries to rip off Star Trek's Borg (Machines turning humans into robots) and trying to do a little Alien and Terminator like, but fails because of the depressing way the actors were talking. What a failure for the people who created this film, total failure.

Let's all hope that this Alien movie will be the LAST.
3 July 1999
In the ending of Alien 4, Ripley and other goons were planning to land on Earth... that's a cue for a sequel. However, with people like me who hated this movie, we'll stop it. When I watched this movie, I thought it was good.. till I saw the scene where the military guys started running away... Hmm in Aliens (Alien 2) Those space marines were macho and wanted to kill every Alien they see... It's wonderful to see 200 years later in Alien 4, all the military guys are hired to run away from computer animation. Not being racist here, but since a French guy directed the movie, I would assume he would put alot of "artistic stuff" in the movie, man I was wrong... He and other french actors (he secretly hired) ruined the whole Alien movie for me. However, they did put in a handicapped person on wheelchair, and that was pretty nice for handicapped people. Why'd the heck they put Winona Ryder in the movie... I don't know, I guess she was bored.

I don't know about others who claim this movie is best.
3 July 1999
Either they were high on some drugs or drunk, or they are special obsessed Star Trek fans. I saw this movie hoping it would be pretty fun to watch. The special effects... really, really, sucked. It's 1989, not 1970. Since when did Romulans have huge hair? This is probably the worst Star Trek movie ever made. That display of Lt. Uhura was gross! Nothing like a 50+ woman semi-nude to make you puke. Whoever directed this film did not know what the heck he was doing (William Shatner, Kirk) I guess Kirk needed some money, so he made this movie on a tiny budget hoping he would rake in alot of money.
