I'm not sure to whom this movie was targeted & its illogic still dumbfounds me. Don't get me wrong, it was an enjoyable little romp.For those still unaware, this movie is "Star Trek" meets "3 Amigos". Picture the cast of the Enterprise recruited to save an interstellar species from extinction.
It can be viewed by the general public, but has references to Trekkies which warant a certain age to find humorous. Finding a Sci-Fi fan of said age that would enjoy being roasted may be difficult. At least I wouldn't have invested in it. I'd think the target audience would be fiscally small for such a budget. By that I meant the cast, the FX were of worthy of Babylon 5.
hi Mart,
perhaps there should be a sign at the door: "Trekkies only, heathen need not apply". We saw it a couple weeks ago, and we are talking about seeing it again. If you think THAT was a roast, rent 'Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy'. This is an old tv mini-series, but it is british,
and satirises everything in it's path. At first i found it offensive, and thought it was anti-scifi; then i realised the author was having fun at everyone's expense. Just a taste: in the first chapter, Arthur Dent, lying in the mud in front of a bulldozer ( they want to tear his house down for a highway bypass ); is persuaded to leave by his friend. They escape to a
remarkably unpleasant spaceship just as the ship blows the Earth to smithereens... ostensibly for an interstellar highway bypass. My favorite character is Marvin, the depressed robot.
... my favorite part was the concept of the improbability drive. & then someone proved GOD existed because ostensibly only GOD could make a universe where his existence couldn't be proven.But, I did enjoy the Earth blowing up. Something 2001 didn't dare depict on film.
Never saw the series, but it was a fun book. Actually 3 books as I recall. I never did get to read the 3rd one.
If so, it wasn't...funny, that is. Shatner's Big Giant Head on Third Rock was a lot funnier.
ROTFLMFHO. Did you see him singing on those commercials on tv? I don't even remember what they are for but he is sure funny.MiKe
Shatner's "sings" in commercials for Primenet.com, I think (not sure because I black out from the horror of his music before the sponsor ID shows up). Saw him smashing a guitar on the ground after his concert on Entertainment Tonight. Heard him threaten to go on tour with Pearl Jam.
Can you imagine that?
Gota give the guy credit though, he can laugh at himself.MiKe
Primenet paid Shatner with substantial corporate shares rather than cold cash. His career appears to be red hot right now, so he's got to take the opportunities while they come, but I also think that it is a little creepy considering that his wife drowned a few months ago. The LAPD isn't gonna solve that one either.
Yes, thanks. The reviews are very good, but your point of reference is good. That was a pretty good choice for Great Big Head, wasn't it!!
