Reviews
Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
ChampCarReigns In a word, gawdawful. Laughable science, cheesy acting, see-through, predictable plot (we were placing bets as to who'd be the driver to die. I lost)...totally a b-grade movie with b-grade actors. The characters were flat, unbelievable, and cold; even the crowd of thirty or so onlookers at the "race" (okay, with stakes of $50 million, you'd think there'd be far more entries and a lot more hype and excitement, no?)looked bored at the whole ordeal. I guess the only semi-redeeming feature was Billy Zane. I think he did the best he could with the script he had, and he was pretty funny in a camp sort of way. Too many errors to get past, however (the electric guitar jam sounded pretty good...too bad the thing wasn't plugged into an amp of any kind)
kickserve In my opinion land speed was the greatest movie ever created. It mixes the type of action, romance and comedy that you could want in a movie. The jokes are great, the graphics are cutting edge and the whole movie just makes since. It is extremely easy to follow which makes it a fantastic movie for all ages. I personally saw this movie three times in the movie theater by myself and twice with my girlfriend. Its the kind of movie that keeps you on the edge of your seat to see how and when they are going to achieve the goal of Mach 2. The exhilarating race at the end is a brilliant way to end a classic movie like this. So, If you want to see a bad ass movie with your friends, or a cute movie to snuggle up with your sweetie...Landspeed is definitely worth it.
daren fishwick Fantastic budget movie, with excellent subject matter. UFO's special effects team have really done landspeed justice. As others have said before, it would have been nice to see one of the big studios pick up this film. Personally I thought Billy Zane performance was excellent in this movie.
wrightnow2003 The movie had elements I like to see.Realism - (if a car was to travel at mach two, the movie portyed it in a very real way unlike fast and furious which had guys drag racing thru a city over a 100 mph for 5 minutes.)Comradery - They portryed relationships between friends and competitors in racing circles in a very positive and real way.Other than some more lessons for the writers and a boost in the budget, the movie was better than I had expected.Mike
