I saw Dune on the big screen when it first came out, and it is unquestionably the second-worst SF movie I've ever seen - so bad it put this formerly avid SF fan off the genre for years...
- padseeker 10y agoName the worst as well as as your top 3. I need some context here.
- douche 10y agoI'd have to put the two Kevin Costner post-apocalyptic flops on the list - Waterworld and The Postman. The Postman rankles especially, since it was a pretty decent book that was butchered badly https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Postman https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Postman
- ScottBurson 10y agoI saw it back then too. I think it's still the only movie I've ever fallen asleep to in a theater, if you don't count the 24-hour sci-fi marathons. As I recall, if there was anything happening in the movie -- which wasn't at all clear to me -- I had no idea what it was.
- aidenn0 10y agoLet me guess; you've seen Battlefield Earth?
- douche 10y agoWhat a travesty that was... L Ron Hubbard is very hit or miss, but the actual Battlefield Earth novel was one of his better efforts. I'd like to see a Final Blackout[1] movie adaptation... [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Blackout https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Blackout
