Awhile back, Forrest told me about an atrocity of a movie he rented from Redbox. Ever since then, he has mentioned it on occasion about how terrible it was. Now, I just didn't see how a movie could be that bad, but he assured me, it was. Well, this last Friday we decided to go rent a movie after our "softball" (i put that in quotes because 4 people showed up; thus--not qualifying as a game) game, he decided that I needed to see a couple of scenes from this movie. Along with renting Remember Me (which, I thought was pretty good), we rented the following movie . . .
Remember how I said I didn't think a movie could be as bad as Forrest thought? Well, I've learned not to doubt him. Because this truly was the worst movie ever. Not only was the plot line incredibly cliche, but the acting/special effects/everything about it was terrible. There were a couple of fight scenes that made the battle scenes in the Manti Pageant seem intense. The costumes were atrocious. No one in the film appeared to have any experience with acting. And you should have seen some of the "space" scenes. It basically looked like you were staring at a black screen with twinkling lights on it. My favorite part was when there were these explosions or something around the ship. I've never seen something faker. Part of me couldn't believe someone actually made this movie. Honestly, it seems as if someone was trying to make a terrible movie. I've seen better student made films posted on facebook. I'm not saying I could do any better...because, well, I couldn't. But it's pretty bad. When Forrest first suggested we watch some scenes (because mind you -- we did not watch the whole thing), I thought about pretending to love it, just to get a rise out of him. But it wasn't even worth doing that. Forrest thought I should mention something about this movie on my blog--so that's where the inspiration for this post came from. So, please watch this trailer for it. Maybe it'll give you an example of what a terrible film it is.
On the other hand, we did watch a pretty good movie called Remember Me. It has Robert Pattinson in it from Twilight. Now, I don't normally think he's the greatest actor ever, but I felt he played his part well in this movie. Granted, most of this movie was kind of depressing. Everyone was depressed, angry, etc. And at parts I wasn't quite sure what the point of the movie was. But the ending definitely made the movie worth watching. I won't tell you what happened, but it wasn't what I suspected and definitely pulled the film together. Forrest and I both felt that it was a more life-like movie that people could relate too, because it didn't have the typical "everything works out perfectly" ending. I wouldn't say it was the best movie I've ever seen, but I did enjoy it. I have to say, there were a couple of sketchy scenes that we fast forwarded through, and a little bit more swearing than I really like (note: more than I like = anything. haha), but yeah. I enjoyed it and recommend it.

i love that the comments on the trailer were disabled :P i was looking forward to what people had to say about it.
i also liked remember me. and i really liked the ending, even though a lot of people complained it was a cheapshot ending. i thought it was totally unexpected and awesome.
You should watch Battlefield Earth, that is most likely the worst movie ever made.
Also, I freaking that ending for Remember Me. It's such a cheap plot device by exploiting a national tragedy because the writer couldn't figure out a better way to bring the movie together.
That StarQuest movie didn't look that bad--in fact, it looked like something Dad would really like--lots of action!! Anyway, my nomination for worst movie goes to Wall-E. I felt like I was being tortured the whole time I was watching it!
