this should be my kind of movie . even if it suck and it still should have be right up my alley while hell and i like congo and and allan quatermaine movie . i have a soft spot in my heart for silly alien or demon or adventure movie . let go over why i decide to watch this in the first place . 1. horror or sci fi almost always intrigue me 2. i be a big fan of archaeology and and this movie do involve a rare treasure . 3. super natural enemy with quality fx . 4. christian slater and dorf i generally enjoy . 5. tara reid be hot . so this movie have potential and at least in the cheese horror section of the video store and but boy do it suck as . the only redeeming aspect be slater and dorf and and not everyone find them as entertain a i do . i mean and let face it and both be melodramatic . but now on to some of the many fault . tara reid . even though the movie a a whole be bad and reid performance be truly awful . be not just talk bad and i be talk about nominate tara reid for bad performance of the year . i do not know if she be capable of act and but play the museum curator be simply out of her league . completely . watch her try to carry the roll of educate scientist wasn not much different than what you get watch the setup in bad porn . i mean this isn not just bad and it be laughably bad . oh and and for those of you curious and she doesn not get naked and only down to a bra in a silly and totally unnecessary love scene . even with reid performance and perhaps the movie could have work and but the plot be what dominate and and the plot seem write by a 10 year old . i hadn not realize this be a video game adaptation until after watch the dvd and otherwise i would have appreciate the stupidity in real time . the storyline jump back and forth from slater childhood at an orphanage where he get flashback of something terrible that happen and he have amnesia and of course . in his adult life slater be recruit by some unit 713 and a paranormal military force that apparently hunt evil or something . slater have to leave because he be too rebellious and i guess and you never really know unless it be in one of those voice over i zone out during . the movie start with slater hunt artifact and obtain his late piece after some dealing with a chilean mercenary force specialize in sell rare antiquity . i may have the exact quote wrong and but you get the idea . there be an evil doctor that want to unleash some hellion on earth ( no reason give ) and experiment on child and super demon or alien human hybrid and photonic bullet ( the demon thing can not stand sunlight ) and and of course and slater and dorf to try to save everyone . jesus and i can not even be to wade through the clichéd element . the script badly need rework to narrow the focus and provide some depth . i mean and why be this evil scientist so damn evil . oh right and human be doom and he be just try to save the human race . i guess he infect . how do that happen . oh right he have one of the evil demon thing in a cage and draw it blood to shoot into himself . how the hell do that happen . why and where do he get the super slug ( oh yes and they use the old sci fi stand by of parasitic alien or demon which fuse with the spine of their host ) of course and slater be and like blade and half super slug power and but his slug do not fully fuse due to an electrical shock and thank god . oh and and the people with these fuse spine and have no idea theyre half alien or demon and act a good member of the community until some secret signal be give whence they turn killer zombie . yeah we get zombie . so lots of crap that could be entertaining and but none of it be . also and the end be completely stupid a everything turn out to be not that big of a deal to fix in the first place . at least nothing a little dynamite can not handle . not the very bad thing you will see and but a truly bad movie .
