I really liked that movie. Can’t believe it’s that old now.


They still have the set from the airplane crash on the Universal Studio Lot tour, it was bad arse to see in person.

I actually watched it all the way through. The hold time I kept thinking "there's no way this can get worse" then a beer would appear for me to hold.


It was truly amazing. I also thought the product placement couldn't be that bad but damn they pushed hard. Did they really have to have a cut to the curser moving across the screen to "use this address" on Amazon's site?

I wish a Youtuber would do a show with interviews of the production crew to find out what the hell they were thinking.

I haven't seen any budget numbers, but it would have probably been better to use this one as a never seen tax write off.

Jesus, it's bad. I sat through the entire thing out of morbid curiosity once I realized it was going to suck. He's a decent enough actor (ok, he plays rapper ganstas really well), he should have known that movie wasn't going to work.

I stopped 20 minutes in. Definitely the worst film ever made.

I don’t think you understand internet humor or gab in general.

I tried to watch the Ice Cube version and it is absolutely horrendous. It could be as bad as the worse movies ever made. From the 80’s, “Troll, and Troll 2”.

I just finished it. I don’t know why. It’s the worst movie that I’ve ever seen. No contest.

I decided to give it a try and it is bad, but I wouldn't say the worst movie ever. It's bad, like really bad from writing, to visual effects to acting in general, but not the worst movie ever.

Skipped through it all last night. It’s frustratingly bad. Like so bad it pisses you off most of the movie. I won’t rehash all the dumb shite in it that’s already been posted but ice’s boss or some govt official is basically on the golf course through most of the movie while shite is blowing up all over the world.

I really want to know how much the actors got paid to basically read their scripts into the camera over zoom calls. That’s probably what pissed me off the most watching

I started watching it with my 16-year old grandson, made it about half way.

His explanation of how it ended made me glad I didn’t watch the rest.

I've been hearing it IRL from people who are definitely not online. Thus, my confusion over people not understanding what the frick they're saying.

It was just too much brilliance to be contained in 1 1/2 hours. You guys just wait until they release the 4 hour Ultimate, Definitive, Extended, Director's cut. Then you will see true genius.
