At least this film had Natasha Henstrige, hilariously ridiculous characters and a lot of mindless action. In fact I'd gladly watch GOW again because it was entertaining as a goofy sci-fi action cheese-fest and doesn't try to be anything else. Also this film si worth seeeing if only for the hilarious scene where the latino guy accidentally chopps off his own thumb trying to make a dog food can grenade. Lower your expectations and it'll be very watchable.

Light on a solid story frame work but making up for it in spades with either charasmatic or interesting characters, strange or cool situations and overall sense of a fun time. I can completely understand and sympathize with anyone who didn't enjoy either of them but hot damn did I enjoy seeing them both in theaters. Tangentally, what are everyones' thoughts on Escape from LA?

People i know hate it casue its an outerspace Western yet they like Outland which is the same thing !! ala High Noon in space! Sometimes i think films get a bad rep early on and its hard to shake it.
