SLIPSTREAM(1989)
In the set: 100 Greatest Sci-Fi Classics
With Mark Hamill(Star Wars, Batman annimated),
Bill Paxton(Twister, Apollo 13, Titanic) & F.
Murray Abraham(The Orville[episode "Sanctuary",
"Homeland", Star Trek 9: Insurrection), I had high
hopes for this! Well, I had good reason, but not
for those reasons! Bob Peck is the best actor
in this! He does a great job as the "bad guy"
who's an anderoid, but we're never really sure
if he is a bad guy! Bill & Mark do excellent also!
This is very entertaining! Perhaps the best movie
in the set!! A
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
Compared with todays frenetic, kinetic,
fast cutting, CGI laden crap this actually
holds up fairly well.
I liked the actors, I liked the characters
(each with a clear motivation) and I liked
the settings. It was well shot, well edited
and well written. And you know what, the
story held my interest. Not like a lot of
what I see today (story often gets lost
over a 'great shot' or pointless effect).
Yes, the special fx are very 80's with
some matte lines but I am very forgiving
about that, this film is over 20 years
old after all. Like the original Star Wars
Trilogy (before George tinkered with it
again, and again, and again), this film
is best enjoyed with all it's flaws.
A simple film, well told story and great
characters. A really good family
film. - wb010b4494
