Sorry, this movie sucks
Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
The acting in this movie is really good.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Indecent...yes it's a name to special effects from bad graphic computer of this movie,could be a good sci-fi,but a lack of fertile imagination blow up the story which is very auspicious in many original scenes,if had a minimum brain behind of movie production,unfortunately they did not....Jeff Fahey and Pierce Brosnan is quite convincing in their roles,but the picture works as pastime and to burn a bad Priest,it's was a magnificent idea...beware l said bad Priest only!! Resume:First watch: 1995 / How many: 2 / Source: TV-DVD / Rating: 6
I remember watching "The Lawnmower Man" back in 1992 when it was initially released, and I do remember it as being a good movie, and I do remember that I was rather impressed with the effects in the movie.Then I returned to watch "The Lawnmower Man" in 2017, and boy was I sorely disappointed. Not only is the story in the movie rather mundane and so far fetched, especially with the way that VR has turned out today and that the story and its predictability of the future of VR was so exaggerated and off course. But also because the special effects were hopelessly outdated and painful to watch.The cast in the movie was actually quite alright, although I only remember that Jeff Fahey and Geoffrey Lewis were in the movie. I had totally forgotten that it was Pierce Brosnan that had the lead role. It was a nice treat to see Dean Norris in the movie as well.The storyline in "The Lawnmower Man" wasn't particularly thrilling or captivating. Sure, it was entertaining back in the day, because it was innovative and new. But if you watch it today, then you don't get half as much enjoyment out of it as you would have back in 1992.For a movie back in 1992, then the special effects and CGI weren't even all that impressive, not when you take into consideration other movies from the same period of time.All in all, then "The Lawnmower Man" is a thing of the past, and it should remain there wrapped in the fond memories that one might have had back then.
Basically, think Flowers for Algernon crossed with TRON and a latter act taking cues from Elfen Lied, and you're somewhere on the right track. The CGI, while quite impressive at the time the film was made, hasn't really aged well. Especially Jobe's Digital Avatar, which sometimes enters the Uncanny Valley.
This is a campy sci-fi horror movie that just isn't that horrifying or entertaining to watch. And despite the title, it doesn't have almost anything to do with the Stephen King's novel of the same name. As a matter of fact I was bored when I saw this flick. I gotta admit the main reason I decided to check this movie out is because of the release of the movie "Transcendence". Maybe this flick was actually really good when it came out, despite the crappy CGI even for when this movie came out. Although it's worse than Saturday morning TV shows now. The plot in this is about a scientist that believes that virtual reality is the wave for the future for human enhancement, testing it out on a mentally handicapped guy that mows lawns for a living. And it alters his brains to the point he becomes super smart and able to use telepathy, telekinesis and soon other ridiculous powers. Watching this movie was like watching "Flowers for Algernon" with virtual reality. There is parts with a Roman Catholic priest, but I still don't know why he was in this flick since it just didn't have much relevance to the plot. Who knows maybe I just missed something. I give this movie some credit for it's symbolism to represent technology as more than the means of sending and receiving information. Despite the fact that I found it ridiculous when it came to the movie's perception of technology. How the movie is pointing to the notion that we are dealing with higher dimensions that we can plug into on a mental and spiritual level and our physical bodies don't matter anymore. That people can transcend and enter into the virtual world and live forever as bits of data. Interesting idea though and I guess when it comes to the perception of technology, it's ahead of it's time because people are still trying to find the means to do that. I actually feel like trying the Oculus Rift now.4/10
