Boring, stupid, ridiculous, predictable - I guess this was supposed to be some dramatic, feel- good film about overcoming tough odds, believing in yourself, blah, blah, blah. But as you watch it, you'll be saying "Oh that line is just like 'Officer and a Gentleman'", or " That camera shot is just like the one in 'Rocky.'" Should I have expected more from a writer whose main credit is episodes for "Family Guy"?

Surprisingly bad acting, one lousy CGI ship and no cohesive direction combine with the stinker of a script to become the cinematic equivalent of a medieval torture chamber. The situations are unbelievable at best and painfully juvenile at the worst. Throughout the film James Franco's face is framed with acne, making me wonder if his training included the same steroid-filled route as the dumb muscle heads at the gym.

As my boyfriend said while the final credits were rolling, "Do you think they have any idea what a piece of s**t movie they made?" SAVE YOUR TIME AND MONEY AND RUN AWAY FROM THIS AS FAST AS YOU CAN!
