Virtuality (2009)
Poorly written
The problem with a science fiction movie/show based off human drama, is that on a mission of earth shattering importance, the crew are almost entirely antagonistic whiny incompetents, who have no business being responsible for a trillion dollar spaceship.
Quite early on it becomes obvious that the captain, who is the final decision maker on anything important, is of dangerously low intelligence, and would not be capable of managing an ice cream truck, let alone a 'world saving' space mission.
I think real astronauts would find this movie insulting.
But the visuals are nice.
Scarfies (1999)
Fush an chups thunks
Imagine a friend who gives you some money to pay a bill, but the next day they demand it back again and say that you forced them into giving you the money. When you pay it back, they apologise and say they were just a bit angry about something else and didn't really need the money back actually, and later they lie about the whole incident to other people.
That is the sort of attitude the characters have in this movie. All of them appear unable make a decision without yelling, screaming and crying. The bare bones of the plot had vague potential, but they should have thrown the script back and tried again.
The Calcium Kid (2004)
The milk is sour
The Calcium kid is about as bad as they get. The script is full of holes and aside from simply not making much sense, tends to do that thing where in order for plot twists to work everyone would have to be a complete idiot. The jokes, if that is what they were meant to be, are like beached dead jelly fish - lifeless and limp. The characters are annoying enough that you'll be reaching for the remote to fast forward through various scenes - once the originality of their British accents loses its appeal. The writer obviously equated - greedy, annoying == funny. Which, it doesn't. There is a reason why you didn't see this one at the movies.
