Slipstream (2005)

This movie is in one word, horrible
13 February 2005
I can't understand how anyone can actually like this movie and think the directing was good.

To start, the story is full of hole and plot points that make no sense. Did anyone notice at one commercial break the bad guys were running out of a bus shooting, but when the commercial was over they were sitting on the bus talking. Worse then the plot holes is the directing.

The director seems to feel the need to spin the camera around the actors at all times, and films possibly the worst shootout seen ever created. It just makes you motion sick at time when both the actors and the camera are spinning at different speeds for no reason.

More odd perhaps is that in one seen when a linear dialog is occurring the sense is taking place while they are sitting in a car and while they are walking, the words match up to if they were in the car the whole time but the director keeps jumping to them in transit having the same conversation and it makes no sense.

The saddest part of the whole movie is that nothing bad would have happened had the female FBI agent just kept her gun at her side and not randomly shot people. She does it on no less then 3 occasions and had she not at any of those points things would have worked out much better and you wouldn't have thought she was a moron.

And on one other note, the lines "I'll always be with you" and "You can't or you won't" should be put into a movie if you can help it, especially if they make absolutely no sense with the scene or if there is no background for them to be said.

My recommendation, sit down with a bunch of friends and watch this for a good laugh.

Oh and just so you don't think I don't like Sci-Fi movies, I'm usually a big fan of movies about anything sci-fi, especially involving time travel and such, but this movie is just plain bad, and the science behind it makes no sense and isn't explained at all so it just amounts to a stupid slug fest.
