Futuresport (1998 TV Movie)
2/10
Cheesy rip-off almost unwatchable
16 March 2007
Warning: Spoilers
A Rollerball rip-off, which isn't saying much. Bad acting, directing, writing, and low-budget effects. Instead of a 1 I gave this a 2, for Dean Cain's good attitude throughout this stinking ship. His charm definitely helps. The movie suffers from cheese overload, and becomes unintentionally funny. Chelsea Clinton is President! During a climactic game, Wesley Snipes wears a bicycle helmet over a Predator wig, lol. With the fate of millions riding on a game, there are about 12 fans watching. That's obviously all the budget allowed. There is a scene of fans of the team that just lost cheering! There is a brief shot of many, many fans that seemed to be taken from a major-league baseball stadium and inserted for false effect. The plot is predictable and outlandish. We've seen it in different forms way too many times. There are apparently no police or army quelling things; instead the players are armed and taking matters into their own clumsy hands! I really like Dean Cain, Wesley Snipes and Vanessa Williams, but not in this garbage.
