Dynaman Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 This was the one of the worst and best movies I have ever seen. Plot wise it is a terrible mess, but it has some of the most interesting characterizations (and well acted ones!) on film. The Diva scene is worth watching the entire movie all by itself. Quote
EXO Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 I agree... at least the story was cohesive enough to follow even though you're not buying things... not like the incomprehensive crap most blockbusters are today. But it was more about the fun characters. The big shame is the fact Dallas and Zorg didn't ever face off at the end. Zorg's evil character was reduced to a device that brings the ship to the heroes so they can escape Flohston paradise. Quote

What I did appreciate in that sequence was it tying into the theme of Zorg being over-reliant on technology, technology consistently failing him, and he getting his comeuppance from that. Maybe it could've been handled together, but after the heavy anti-war preaching, it's a refreshing break that such a major player in the story is so casually and glibly dispatched.
