 | If you have seen the movie, then you know what I mean by my title. If not, well, I have to tell you that this movie is great.
This movie came out a few years ago, and I had never herd of it. I just stumbled across it one day. And this is on my must own list. It is a very inventive, fun, movie. All the answers to anything you wanna know about are in this movie.
Yes, it is more fantasy than anything, but don't let anyone tell you that this movie was poorly written, directed, or cast. It is a great fun movie. Buckle up and go for a ride down interstate 60. It's a wild ride.
This is what I love about movies. Fiction! People forget that movies are supposed to be fun. So many are just looking for a flashy title and some kind of intellectual value or expensive speacial effects or even mind numbing off the wall comedy. This movie has alittle bit of all those things. |

| This is probably (easily) one of the worst films I have ever seen. There are many fine actors in this film, but the script is undeveloped and boring. It's pretty obvious that filmmakers, producers, and studios are using venues like this to place fake positive reviews for their own films.
If you read review after review that has statements like "This film is a gem, vastly underrated," "It's a must-see," or uses the phrase "excellent film" more than once in the same review, beware. |

| It's a movie that keeps you thinking, and on the edge of your seat, even though it's not an action movie. Christopher Lloyd is amazing in his role, and the plot provides a lot of twists and turns. It's a must-see. |

| I was motivated to watch this after hearing Kurt Russell talk about it on the commetary track to "Big Trouble in Little China," which is fantastic, and which you should buy immediately.
This movie was shot, paced and directed like a TV show. Indeed, it was so television-like that I turned to my wife 30 minutes into it and said, hey, this is a failed pilot! It introduces the characters, sets up the rules of the road (as it were), gives us the McGuffin (the quest for "the answer", which, Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy-like, has no question), and a magic Magic 8-Ball that knows the future. Indeed, toward the end of the movie, it popped into my head that "Interstate 60" is just "Sliders," where the alternate realities are reached by car, not by time machine. The Amazing Reality Jumping Machine is different; the concept is not.
The TV-like nature of this enterprise is not the fault of the actors, who do their best with what they're given. Rather, the lifeless and pedantic script (did we have to learn an Afterschool Special Life Lesson (tm) every 10 minutes), clunky direction, and bloated editing suck the energy out of this film. The exceptions are the short performances by great actors like Christopher Lloyd, Michael J. Fox and Kurt Russell. These guys are veterans who can turn in a great performance even with crummy material and bad direction. Indeed, these performances make the rest of the movie look even worse by comparison.
This isn't an awful movie; there are some good moments, and overall I didn't want to throw things at the TV when it was over and ask for two hours of my life back. But this film does not represent the career high point of anyone involved. This is something to rent if it's 11 pm on Friday at the video store and your only other choices are "Shattered Glass" and a bunch of WWE videos. It's not something to go out of your way for. |
| Rating | | | Date | February 19, 2005 | | Summary | Film that makes You wonder every time You watch it | Content
| Excellent film; it has a degree of reality, meta-reality and fantasy in it. It has a conclusion(s); you decide what these are. This is not a typical Holly Sci-Fi with a typical action/adventure common factor. It makes one wonder and ponder about everything one perceives every day. It reminds people how important small decisions may be. It ridicules what we "learned" to accept as something "normal." Again, this is an excellent film. |
