What are the worst film/actors you have experienced?

[cragwolf]

H. G. Wells is one of the founders of this largely poor-quality literary genre, and his works, including "War of the Worlds", are better than 99% of what followed by others. Wells does not write comfortable and reassuring "sci-fi", and so these days his works are merely mentioned rather than read. Or they're turned into movies. Unfortunately, Spielberg is directing it, so get ready for another Peter Pan, male-adolescent fantasy. The special effects will thrill your reptilian brain, the music will seduce your mammalian brain, and the "one-man-fights-against-evil-and-wins-the-girl" plot will excite your monkey brain.

That was the one with the bugs which "evolved" from fungus in a decade.

And the scientific robot cat with the 'ninja kill em all' setting.

And the breathable martian atmosphere which couldn't be detected from Earth (or orbit even).

And the destructive solar flare which the engineers didn't design the spacecraft to survive.

And the alternate universe where powering down a rotating spacecraft causes it to stop rotating.

And the Viking lander which apparently was designed with liftoff rocket systems, batteries with a 50+ year life, and a life support system on the off chance that Mr. Val Kilmer would need to power it up and escape to his waiting love interest without a helmet to his suit.

*barf*

Oh yes, that one. Do you mind if I join you with your disgusted vomiting?
