Worst Science Fiction Film of All Time II: The Quickening

[areaseven]

Since it's Civil War week, here's a look back at the worst thing to happen to Cap. And we're not just talking about the rubber ears.

Oh yeah, there's also this steaming pile.

Is someone paying you to watch it?

Because otherwise...

[grigolosi]

I wish, it is some form of self induced torture, but think I lucked out. The stream for the video source didn't work.....

You should try testing your pain threshold with 2016. Those Ghanaians make Uwe Boll look like Francis Ford Coppola.

[areaseven]

Now available on Blu-ray. Knock yourselves out.

Do yourselves a favor and get the Rifftrax version instead! See ROTOR's destructive power as he barrels through folding chairs!

"25 years in the future" was 4 years ago...

Part Man. Part Machine. All Crap. And we're not talking about the 2014 RoboCop reboot.

[areaseven]

Simple answer: They suck.

Just when you thought you had erased this from your memories...

It would have been far easier (and much quicker) to write down what was correct with it.

[areaseven]

Only one Transformers move made the list? How is that possible?

Moreover, how could Twilight not make their list?

[Dynaman]

Gods of Egypt belongs on the 2010s list. Just saw it today and it was worse than expected.

[areaseven]

"It makes Fant4stic look good."

Also...

To summarize:

10. The Last Airbender

9. The Garbage Pail Kids Movie

6. Alone in the Dark

5. Highlander II: The Quickening

4. Jaws: The Revenge

3. Mortal Kombat: Annihilation

2. Jack and Jill

1. Battlefield Earth

[areaseven]

Can't be worse than the actual film.

[technoblue]

I had to keep reminding myself that this was for sci-fi films only, and then I was happy that I've only seen three that got ranked:

• Star Trek V (too many questions)
• Superman IV (too much spandex)
• Highlander II (not enough scotch)

[Dynaman]

If Superman IV is on the list then Superman III should be on there as well - both of them are certainly deserving.

[areaseven]

If Superman IV is on the list then Superman III should be on there as well - both of them are certainly deserving.

III is bad, but nowhere near the abysmal levels of IV. Whereas III had a budget but no creativity, IV had neither budget nor creativity, as Cannon Films squandered nearly half of the original budget on 10 or so other films that were being made at the same time. Also, III has that redeeming scene where Clark battles his evil self, while IV has no redeeming qualities at all.

[areaseven]

If anyone ever managed to make one worse, well, shooting is too good for them. Drawn and Quartering probably too.

The Brazen Bull and Blood Eagle are too humane for them as well. Perhaps we should just clamp their eyes open and make them watch their own films.

We must have different definitions of the word "redeeming" but I'll leave it at both films being trash.

The Brazen Bull and Blood Eagle are too humane for them as well. Perhaps we should just clamp their eyes open and make them watch their own films.

Now THAT is a good idea!

How to ruin the spy movie genre...

[renegadeleader1]

It was already ruined with the 1967 Casino Royale film.

[areaseven]

Not the worst Jaws movie, but definitely one of the worst 3D films ever made.

[areaseven]

The movie that proved that even with a competent director, you can't make Adam Sandler happen.

[areaseven]

It's Independence Day week, so let's focus on director Roland Emmerich. Of all his films, which is his worst?

• Moon 44 (1990)
• Universal Soldier (1992)
• Stargate (1994)
• Independence Day (1996)
• Godzilla (1998)
• The Patriot (2000)
• The Day After Tomorrow (2004)
• 10,000 B.C. (2008)
• 2012 (2009)
• Anonymous (2011)
• White House Down (2013)
• Stonewall (2015)
• Independence Day: Resurgence (2016)

[sketchley]

I'd like to say "Godzilla", but I'm going to go with "The Patriot". 've only seen bits and pieces of that movie whenever its on the boob tube, and it doesn't hold my attention when I go channel surfing during the CM breaks.

Haven't seen any of the subsequent movies... so that's that line in the sand.
