the quote above just about say it all for slipstream . i should have bail out of this film after the first half hour and but decide i ought to be fair and give it a chance . i would not watch it again and so if anyone with the temerity to do so can get back to me with the number of clichéd line in the movie and i be sure it will set a record . some otherwise fine and talented actor get mixed up with this clunker while mark hamill portray a futuristic bounty hunter and bill paxton be his quarry . paxton character have hijack hamill prisoner and an android take his name from the poet byron ( bob peck ) . tasker ( hamill ) shoot owen ( paxton ) with a dart contain a tracking device so he and his companion belitski ( kitty aldridge ) can keep tab on the pair . the real question though be why do not he just fire the device at byron thereby cut out the middleman . if you enjoy scene after disjoint scene with tedious characterization and artsy fartsy pretense and then i suppose you will find something of interest here . but you can not convince me that the film make sense on any level . scene of a futuristic stone age make way for high society snobbery and but the pinnacle of poor taste be reach when paxton character be display follow a night of revelry with hickey all over his torso . if anyone think there some hidden meaning here and youre really stretch . patiently wait for the frame proclaim the end to come into view and ala and even that be deny . if beauty be in the eye of the beholder and then so be understand while this movie have neither . yet there be a single redeeming feature a the closing credit begin their run an awesome view of a half dozen hot air balloon . apparently the film be keep them afloat .
