It's hard to pinpoint just one thing that makes this an almost unbearable shipwreck. Is it the corny acting? The dated visual effects? The scatter-brained rushed story-telling? Take your pick.
Yes the studio interference made this one of David Lynch's biggest woes but he had no business taking on a big-budget....anything. Lynch should stick to short intimate weird human introspective. This ends up feeling like an attempt by a glue-sniffing junior to make a Terry Gilliam film. The CGI is a complete joke and almost insulting even for TV standards let alone a big movie release. Kyle Maclachlan's acting makes me want to laugh (in a bad way) but the set designs have a spark of true genius. That last part is probably the only good thing I got out of the poor excuse for a movie 4.6/10.
