Sorry, this movie sucks

Simply Perfect

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Down and dirty: Unintelligent, bad acting, "special defects" not "special effects" (old "Land of the Lost" episodes looked better), weak story, automatic handguns with an endless array of bullets (that apparently fire .38 rounds), US Army using Air Force planes to do their dirty work (the plane often switches from an F-16 to an F-4 that does extremely accurate bombing runs without "smart" ordnance), general and major can't even salute properly, and best of all: an Airborne Ranger with seven years experience - as a soldier - somehow is an expert helicopter pilot. This garbage made Ed Wood's "Plan 9" look spectacular. Pathetic on a grand scale as well as insulting. The writer, director and producers should be embarrassed - though I wouldn't entrust them to work a deep fryer. Michael Pare has probably been glued to a suicide hotline ever since.This isn't worthy of a "zero" rating - it should be a "minus" for certain.

I just caught this on Showtime...ewwwwwww, not even fun in a bad movie kind of way. One of the lamest monster flicks I've ever seen. Plus the TV reporter in the movie was that annoying Jerri from a past season of Survivor. The only amusing thing was that the "secret base" was the house from Fantasy Island (and a million other movies and TV shows; the place is located in the L.A. area). I fully expected Mr Roarke and Tattoo to come out and greet the visitors. If Tattoo had gotten eaten by the snake, I might have given this movie a 2, but oh well. Watching people stand there and scream for five minutes while the Komodo or the cobra loomed over them instead of making a run for it was pretty funny, especially because you could really tell that they were just screaming at an empty spot where the computer animators would later paint in the monster. I nearly fell out of my chair, though, when in a flashback scene they brought in either the cobra or the komodo - then normal size - in some indestructible solid steel container with some air holes drilled into it. Wouldn't a wire cage have sufficed? LOL! Guess they couldn't afford to rent a real komodo and cobra. I have to remember I rent Showtime for their series and not their movies.

After having recently seen the Godfather, I can say without a doubt this movie is one of the greatest movies of the last decade. The only thing that outdoes the movie, is the acting in it. Rod McCary as General Bradley portrayed a tortured yet inevitably humane character.As a viewer I was drawn into the plot from the very first minute as the special effects were outstanding. The characterization and flow of the storyline was genius in its conception.The musical score reminded me of my childhood and the various themes displayed throughout the movie intertwined well with the orchestral and ambient sounds. The underlying messages hidden within this masterpiece reflect the problems of today's society; it is set in the eponymous year and focuses on a repressive, totalitarian regime, thus effectively perpetuating propaganda, with its meagre existence and ultimately futile rebellion against the system.Bravo, Jim Wynorski, Bravo.

A team of amateur journalists and tree-huggers catches wind of a secret government project, Project Carnivore, on a remote South Pacific island. The scientists there are producing giant-sized corn, but the genes are spreading to other species, creating abnormally large Komodo dragons and a cobra (one that's bullet-proof and swims underwater). With the help of the scientist's daughter, can they escape the island and tell the world? Even if i hadn't seen this film on the Sci-Fi Channel (which, sadly, i did) it would scream "Sci-Fi Channel" with its low production value, weak acting and some of the worst special effects in history. The effects here are comparable to another creature film, "Raptor Island", although not nearly as bad. I would suspect that there must be at least a handful of people that worked on both films, but I haven't bothered to confirm that and probably won't. It will be a sad day when I see either of them films again.Which is not to say it's not enjoyable. I watched it at two in the morning with my sister's boyfriend and I can't speak for him, but I thought it was a pretty good use of time. As bad the whole thing is, it's a fun picture if you like to make fun of movies and the scientist's daughter is attractive enough to carry the film (I believe the actress' name is Michelle Borth). Michael Pare also appears as a ship captain, and his poor choice of roles here actually makes his work on "Furnace" look respectable (even if that movie is intolerably bad).I can't be too hard on this film simply because it was more or less exactly what I thought it would be. Bad effects? Low budget? No-name actors? I didn't have any higher hopes. Yet, this doesn't mean that it's awesome, either. Coming in at par is nothing to be proud of and this one will slowly fade into the distant memory department. For the one fan who likes this film (and calls it "KvC"), hold on to your copy because you'll have a heck of a time getting a replacement.
