Okay, this is NOT Academy Award material. But let's face it, we can all think of twenty movies in as many seconds with a more inane premise, or with worse acting, or worse cinematography, or worse special effects, and most of them are rated higher here on IMDB. Careful... I'll start naming them. (fight club)... (gladiator)... (armageddon)
As a science fiction fan, I actually enjoyed it. But I do wish that Hollywood would stop painting their cliches so boldly. I mean, I'm a computer geek too, but I'm not an ugly, socially awkward virgin.
The premise isn't completely stupid, but it's movie land and they have to exaggerate the effects, right?
My personal favorite lines:
"How long will it take to build this?"
"Twelve, no, ten years."
"How much would it cost to do it in three months?"
"Um... fifty billion."
"Will you take a cheque?"
"Put it on a card, you get air miles."
