Re: ...and his name is Jerry Bruckheimer
God, did I hate that film. Knew it would be bad but we got dragged to a drive-in in Maine of all places, by my much larger 6' 5" brother in law.
Of course I hate the Star Trek films and most any Hollywood Sci-Fi. Just rented Red Planet which TOTALLY sucked.
Some moderate exceptions:
Mission to Mars: OK it was Bob Willliams Cydonia but it was watchable.
The Thing: John Carpenter's remake is a great guy-flick DVD. Interesting special effects descriptions, pre-CGI.
Forbidden Planet: One word. Altara. Oh, two words. Robbie.
