Mel B, Tom Hardy, and Katharine Towne in LD 50 Lethal Dose (2003)

Review by aimless-46

LD 50 Lethal Dose

2/10

HILARIOUS!!! its about this dude, and he couldn't find his car.

Dude this movie was HILARIOUS!!! its about this dude, and he couldn't find his car.

Sorry wrong movie but same intellectual level. Like the teen comedy "Dude, Where's My Car", "LD 50 Lethal Dose" bravely seeks the lowest rung of its genre's (in this case sci-fi, sort of) intelligence ladder. The only positive outcome is the possibility that first-time writer Matthew McGuchan is now ashamed enough about his sad screenplay to seek a permanent career in the food service industry.

Basically "LD 50 Lethal Dose" is what you would have if someone tried to remake 1970's "The Andromeda Strain" under a lot of budget constraints. Speaking of budgets, can anyone find the $8 Million allocated to this movie? Very little of even that modest amount makes it to the screen. And speaking of mysteries, how did they manage to find that kind of financing for this turkey?

"LD 50 Lethal Dose" has the same production design concept as the two "Saw" movies and "The Hole"; find an abandoned industrial building, go inside, and roll camera. But even though this particular claustrophobic set has more potential than the others, the finished product is not even remotely in their league. A few artsy interior shots can't salvage a premise this lame or a script this staggeringly bad.

If you enjoy life on the bottom rung of the sci-fi ladder you would be better served by something that at least has some innate charm (insert "Godzilla" here). "LD 50 Lethal Dose" might have eventual parody potential but I am not masochistic enough to watch it again for confirmation.

Then again, what do I know? I'm only a child.
