this be not just a movie and it actually 4 movie and a television series to boot . there be plotlines and similar character and special effect and costume and even dialog from the last starfighter and the matrix and runaway and robocop and star trek . even then they couldn not patch together a watchable film . jamie leigh curtis give a performance worthy of one those scream from holloween and there ought to be a law limit the number of baldwin brother allow to torture u with awful performance . what reason do a great character actor like donald sutherland have to make a clunker like this and only god know . one thing for certain and the next time i see this film it will probably be on mystery science theater 3000 get about the same review .
