This was a loud, wild, silly, sophomoric science-fiction action film that had a number of good and bad points.
THE GOOD - If you have a surround system, and particularly with a sub-woofer, the sound in here is excellent. For the most part, the film entertains and stays away from profanity until the last 15 minutes. Armand Assante plays a convincing villain.
THE BAD - There is some stupid dialog, especially by Rob Schneider's character "Fergie." He isn't funny; he's just plain annoying. There's another cheap shot at Christians as the villain out in the desert is shown to be a "Believer." None of the good guys are, of course. This also has a script that isn't easy to follow and it gets too loud with too many explosions. That stuff wears thin after the first hour.
OVERALL - The negatives outweigh the positives. There are so many other good action movies that I wouldn't waste your time with this.
