. this thing would be well nigh unwatchable . honest to isis and 95 % of this movie be just as bad a you have hear . the plot make virtually zero sense and half of it ( the shield ) be both scientifically impossible and utterly unnecessary . there be broad and hammy performance and jar leap and and inconsistency by the carload . and have anyone get any idea how or why the zeistians ever evolve their bizarre immortality code . if i ever make a list of the ten most jaw droppingly stupid movie and this will definitely be there . but . i give it a three [ and not a two or below ] solely for the charm and humor of sean connery performance a ramirez . unlike others who and have apparently decide to play their role here for laugh and go totally overboard into eye roll panic or guffaw villainy connery play every one of his scene in this strange new century with delightful lightness and panache . whether gracefully bow out of a stage performance of hamlet and pay off a snooty men tailor with his pearl earring and experience his first airplane ride ( a wonderful sequence . ) or give his life to save macleod and girl from a nameless evil machine and connery be the definition of the gallant cavalier and and save what otherwise would be an unsavable film . i salute him . watch it for him if you think you can stand the rest of it .
