Well, 2 days to go ... and I'm reeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllyyyyyyyyy starting to lose it big time! This is unfortunate,because I kinda grew attached to my sanity and I'll hate to lose it - especially over ECON10010! So,after a rather disturbing studying session which I estimate to have lasted excluding the small breaks between seven and eight hours... WOW,right?That from the guy,who hasn't studied (at the very least actively) for the last eight years... so the feeling of utter emptiness after this marathon made me make the biggest mistake of the day - to get fooled by a movie trailer in youtube. The result 190 minutes of a movie that is best characterised by "It's so bad,I can't believe it's not Uwe!" The trailer gave all the right signs - a interesting,if slightly overused, post apocalyptic scenery, an adventurous treasure hunt ala Indiana Jones 1-3(Let's face it,4 kinda sucked big time!) and a decent female lead,or at least so she looked,a religious fanatic,a generic billionaire villain...
And now,what REALLY HAPPENED:
Well,it's sucked,turbo!In fact,it's so bad,it's recommended for it to be included in the basic "rigorous interrogation",not torture, in the non-existent Gitmo Bay,where they certainly don't torture or actually even have innocent people or terrostas... Rly! I mean it completely,in reality the movie is 90mins including the credits,which you could skip,but if you manage to watch it in one run-through without gouging your eyes out with a teaspoon in order to remove the infected parts of yourself and to stop it from spreading into your system,that or by finding out that you're actually a terrorist,who knows everything about everyone in Al qaeda,PLFP,Ira,Eta and the secret Cabal Of Circus Clowns and that you feel the need to call those oh-so-nice guys from Homeland Security to take you away and to call Jack Bauer to have a little chat with you,you'd need to be studied,because you're Superguy and the scientific community will need to develop a gene therapy to help others survive this level of abuse.
So,what was that wrong that such a sure-fire movie turbo sucked?!
Well,it simple - It IS A SCI-FI CHANNEL TV MOVIE MADE TOGETHER WITH PRO F-ing SIEBEN!!! It was destined to suck,but someone found it important enough to exclude that little bit of info from both the DVD trailer on youtube and from the entry at ReleaseLog... Then comes the cast... Not that I'm prejudiced or anything ,but it'd be a nice idea to A)Cast people who can talk in the appropriate accent for the part and B)see A),but with the addition of an appropriate lines for the characters... I for one was near stupor each and every time the German members of the cast tried to speak in English,because the effect of the sounds coming from their mouths made me seriously consider entering the laptop screen and to summarily execute everyone with the exception with the two guys in the two "starring" roles... Alas,it was impossible and so I took a 100 minute break during the movie to try and calm myself and to soldier on to the end... The other elements of the movie are typically less worse than the beforementioned stuff,but still relatively sub-par,with the exception,maybe, of the CGI,but the jury is still out on it...
So,the verdict is - KILL IT,KILL IT NOW! I mean it,because if SCI-FI want to continue making movies they might want to talk with their colleagues in TNT or HBO to find out what a TV movie should look like,that or preferably just repurpose the money from this suckfests to fund another season of SG:A or maybe to add to the budget of Eureka,so they hopefully resume filming earlier...
But for now,I'm off to try to burn the memories from this movie using either an obscene ammount of beer and Far Cry 2 or more likely by a lil' soak in the bathtub while listening to the soothing sounds of Manowar and Iron Maiden(don't judge me,please!)
bk109 out but still screaming in his head!
