Future World

It's very sad to see good Actors telents go to waste in such a movie, story is somewhat like half Cyborg half Madmax, but Cinematography and Editing is really below average, i think James Franco's Team consisted of some teenager fans, or maybe he was too busy on his other projects that he didn't got the time for his direction. This movie will haunt him in coming days, Sorry Franco, direction is not for you bro.

Is it possible to take a group of A-list actors and make a really really awful B grade movie? Well yes, yes it is and in my opinion Future World is it.

This flicks screenplay, I suspect quite intentionally, tries to pay homage to late 70's dystopian films such as Mad Max and cheesy but watchable 80's sci fi like Cherry 2000. Regrettably, however, this film is more sacrilege than homage.

Future World simply fails to appreciate and understand the mechanics of what made these earlier films work. Things like fleshed out characterisations, an interesting, engaging story and decent narrative.

Suffice to say, I'd rather revisit the original films, than waste my time on this clumsy facsimile. 1/10 from me.

One could try to find out, what caused this to go south. And I don't mean literally obviously. Was it too many people getting involved in the production/script? Was the main idea good, but somehow something happened while translating for the big screen? If you are really interested in this, you will not find an answer here. Actually I will make the point that there are worse movies out there. Which doesn't make this good by any stretch of imagination (and imagination you will need).

But just goodies like having Milla Jovovich and James Franco in it, is almost worth watching it. The action is ok or even decent for the budget this has. One of the main problems is though that the main character is almost derived completely of any charisma. But that is not all, the cliches come flying in and weird things get thrown at the viewer for good measure. Or is it bad measure? Whatever the case, you will have to have a very low expactation and a very high love (no pun intended) for Science Fiction movies .. if that comes together you may have more fun then most people. Otherwise it probably is wise to steer clear of this

Initially I gave this a 2/10 but after careful consideration I finally gave it a 3/10.

This is not the worst movie I have ever seen, but it comes very close, at least I can say, (not that it is a recommendation) I made it to the end without falling asleep.

It had some good moments, but the bad acting really stopped it being anything but bad. The standout actor was Jeffrey Wahlberg, who to me, is a bit of an unknown and worth watching out for in the future.

James Franco, who I usually like, really could have done better as could some of the other actors who I normally rate highly.

Don't waste your time. This genre has been done much better before.

Hour and a half completely devoid of content. Like a porn parody without porn. Looks terrible. Sounds terrible. I felt nothing, NOTHING, I'm not kidding, I was not even annoyed. Waste of talent, waste of money, waste of space, and ultimately, a complete waste of my time. Milla Jovovich, James Franco, Lucy Liu, Carmen Argenziano,they should all be ashamed of themselves.
