William Hurt and Mimi Rogers are two of the most wooden actors, as is only too apparent in this film. The script, plot, dialogue were all awful -- silly and contrived. The effects were okay, except for that amazingly phony monkey thing. Worst of all, there was no sense that anyone was enjoying themselves in making this movie. They could have gone over the top, had some fun with the idea of re-making what was a pretty cheesy show in its original form, but they were all stone-faced and serious. I can't believe 80 million was spent on this tripe. I bemoan the current trend of movies that use expensive, intricate special effects with no good writing to back it up. The whole industry is cheapened. There are too many technicians and too few artists working in (mainstream) Hollywood, it seems...please, save those two hours of your life and do something worthwhile! Time is spinning away even while you read this! Get off the web! Go outside! Breathe the air! Bite the ass of life! And don't watch this movie!
