Completely unbelievable premise, worthy of a Gilligan's Island episode. Sugary, sappy, overloud music. Not a single surprise to be found anywhere--you've already seen every part of this movie done better elsewhere.

Tries every emotionally manipulative trick in the book--and fails. Would have been overlong at half the running time. The best part was the "movie within a movie" starring Bruce Campbell.

My wife bailed out after 45 minutes (and is NOT letting me pick the next DVD), but I have this character defect where I have to finish what I've started. How on earth could Ebert give this three and half stars? I used to be able to trust him.

Unless you think Mr. Smith Goes to Washington is the finest piece of cinematic art ever created, stay away from this complete waste of time.

Truly dreadful, slow, boring. Couldn't care less about the characters or the (nonexistent) plot. You must have read the Gibson short story to have any clue what your emotions should be.

Zero special effects, zero character development, zero cinematography, zero interesting anything (well, nude Asia Argento was okay). And the last act simply rehashes the dreck you've already experienced.

This thing looks like a film made by a 14 year old on his Mac. It makes Johnny Mnenonic look like Lawrence of Arabia. How *did* this "movie" get made?

At least there was one laugh: the shaky image projected onto a palm pilot, trying to make it look like some future device. Was that really supposed to be believable? Sheesh.

Stay away.

This is possibly the very worst movie I have ever seen, and I've seen some baddies. I should ask Blockbuster for my money back; I'm sure they'll understand.

I won't go into detail about why this movie is so bad--the other reviewers have done that. The only good thing I can think to say is the title is completely accurate. This is a travesty in every sense of the word.

Why Leslie Neilsen agreed to do this schlock is beyond me. I dearly hope he's not becoming senile... Do NOT rent this under any circumstances--well, unless you're really into pain.
