While I had high hopes for this James Cameron penned, Robert Rodriguez directed film, it fell short of my expectations. The special effects are visually stunning, but that wasn't enough to overcome cheesy dialogue and wooden performances from the non-CGI characters, and the fact that the filmmakers appeared to end the movie about 20 minutes before the climax started. The poor box office totals in the U.S. reflect the overall quality of this film, but it's doing well enough overseas that a sequel will surely be made.

I watched this movie with the expectation that it would be a bad movie that was at least fun to watch. How wrong I was. This has to be the worst movie I have ever had the displeasure to sit through. I cannot think of a single aspect of this film that is not absolutely horrible. It plays like a 10-year-old with a new video camera got some friends together and asked them to improvise being macho. I can't even believe there was a script involved. If you watch this movie, you will regret that you wasted 90 minutes of your life that you will never get back. If you want to see a movie so bad that it's actually amusing, try Death Race 2000, with David Carradine. At least that film is laughable, not excruciatingly painful to watch. I find that I am angry at myself for sitting through the entire thing. Please do yourself a favor and miss this one completely.
