what an absolute piece of crap . i wonder how they come up with this . ok and let get some mediocre have be ( at that time ) tv actor and combine that with some young unknown ( with potential ) and hire a really lousy special effect team . now and what be we miss and anything . how about maybe a script . it doesn not even have to believable and just anything on paper will do . this be more than likely how the meeting go . because the script be horrible and just horrible . ed wood write good dialogue . king kong could have write good dialogue . it seem that someone place a cat on a keyboard and let it jump around for an hour or so and and keep everything that look like a word . a if that be the only thing that be wrong with this entertainment debacle . then there be the effect ( if that what you can call it ) . the melt effect really . well it just suck . the scene with shattner father melting be awful . the guy melt completely and without any sign of skeleton . ( if you wat to see a much well melt scene go to the ene of raider of the lose ark and that melt ) . then they make it much bad at the end scene . they just keep on show u scene after scene of all of the bad guy melt . on and on and and on ad infinitum . two minute or so would have be plenty . oh yeah and and only the bad guy be melt . what can i say about the acting . shattner be all you need to hear . the emperor of over act . the absolute king of ham . no one can chew the scenery like shattner . joe estevez and on his best day only wish he could be like shattner . he ( shattner ) wring the melodrama out of his every single moment on this film . borgnine try to keep up with him but fail miserably and a do skerritt and et al . how would i grade this movie . a a horror film and it fail completely . it never provide me with one scene of anything resemble horror and or fright . if it have be a satire and i might have give it a 3 and but if it be satirical and then it be only accidentally so . a a comedy and it would get a 2 and but i think the thing i find funny and be thing the film maker want me to take seriously . so i have to stick with a one and but only because there isn not a low number to give it . rp .
