I know good science fiction isn't tremendously fashionable these days, but this piece of dreck was almost an insult to science fiction fans.
SPOILERAMASAURUS...
Those ridiculous M&Ms! Rotating happily around each other in a DNA helix! WHY? If they were attached to each other in some way it would merely have been a hideous product placement but in this movie they completely *flout* the laws of physics in an obvious attempt to looks "science fictiony"! Objects (unless they are the size of planets) do not simply go round and round each other in circles in zero G just because doing so makes nice patterns! ARGH! Don't even get me started on the jockish, rubbishy dialogue. Jocks don't watch science fiction movies, Hollywood. If you want people like ME to enjoy and continue watching your movies, stop scripting them for people who are never going to watch them. "Eurobabble." FEH.
And that cruddy alien! And the stupid giant face! And the entirely pointless "noble" death scene (incidentally,what on Earth was Tim Robbins doing in this movie? He can *act*)! And the toy spaceship taking the good ol' boy astronaut off for "a ride" at the end of the movie, puttering along like a cheesy 70s pimpo golf cart! It's not even at the level of Plan Nine from Outer Space! *Unimpressed*, peeps... 1 tiny cheap tin foil star pasted onto black construction paper for this effort, filmed in a wobbly way with your Dad's cruddy camcorder... and that's only because I can't give it *zero*...
