Very well executed
Thanks for the memories!
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
A B-movie hybrid of sci-fi and Western. It feels like the latest of all '80s movies, and it could have played nicely on USA Up All Night. Unfortunately, it wouldn't be one of the better movies to play on that program. It has a couple of things going for it, but mostly it's lame. It has no story and no energy, and after about a half an hour, it starts to feel interminable. The leads are mostly unknowns, and are fairly uninteresting. It has a few recognizable supporting actors, like George Takei, Julie Newmar and Isaac Hayes. Takei and Newmar are just there to deliver awful jokes in the form of Star Trek and Batman references. Thankfully, Hayes spares us from any Shaft references. The humor is generally awful. Whenever it tries to be funny, it flops to the ground. I did enjoy the costume and character design. The bad guy in particular looks great. Okay, very cheesy, but the film does know what it is. And I loved the undertaker, named Gaunt (Carel Struycken), who is basically a reference to The Seventh Seal. And, while not a good actress, Musetta Vander is gorgeous as the villain's henchwoman/girlfriend. They made a sequel to this film which is a bit higher rated on IMDb. I won't be seeking it out, though.
This film contains no exploding golfcarts, no people falling over railings (two at a time), no diabolical laughter, and no stock footage from BATTLESTAR GALLACTICA. Unlike SPACE MUTINY, which was just plain annoying, OBLIVION was an entertaining piece of cinematic garbage with enough cheesy dialog and one liners that enable it to stand on its own, even without the help of Mike and his MST3K robot friends. Also, unlike SPACE MUTINY, it's a lot more fun than shoveling raw sewage.Give this one a chance.Rating: *** out of *****
I have never laughed at a movie before. This movie is so bad and the acting is beyond horrible that makes this film the best comedy of the decade. A great movie, if you are having a really bad day.***
An analogy to describe my feelings towards this film is this: You would hear a song that is so bad but you can't get it out of your head. The same thing goes for this poorly-made movie; You just cannot forget how horrible it is!!! 4 years after seeing this film I can still remember the ill-conceived dialogue and the not-so-very special effects. Save yourself while you can...do not watch this movie!!!!
