\u201cone for the ages\u201d.\u00a0 The wifey and I decided to order a pay-per-view \u2018horror\u2019 movie tonight and just relax.\u00a0 Cool and cool, and horrific is absolutely what we got!<\/p>\n<p>This movie started with no clear plot that I could figure out what-so-ever.\u00a0 It was just plain gratuitous violence.\u00a0 Blood and guts, severed heads, screaming and yelling and all the typical things you\u2019d see at the END of one of these types of movies.\u00a0 So, I must admit, this movie had me intrigued to being with.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, I can deal with the silly, and totally ridiculous violence since that is what we bargained for, but through-out the movie they would include intermittent scenes of some type of Command Center\/Control Center.\u00a0 We were thinking like \u201cwhat the hell is this for?\u201d, because it seemed so random but it appeared they were building a plot of some sort.\u00a0 It turns out that the Command Center wanted people for being \u201cyoung\u201d.\u00a0 Five young people had to die according to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/search?hl=en&amp;rlz=1C1CHFX_enUS451US451&amp;sa=X&amp;ei=YZNiUImzNMGYiQLr7IHgDQ&amp;ved=0CB0QvwUoAQ&amp;q=Sigourney+Weaver&amp;spell=1\">Sigourney\u00a0Weaver<\/a>.\u00a0 Yep, she stooped to a new low for sure with this bomb of a flick!\u00a0 She made about a five minute on-screen appearance and that was the most true insight to any sort of plot I could find in the movie.<\/p>\n<p>All I could figure out with this movie (or that I cared about) was that the mega-pot smoking dope-head was somehow immune to the effects that this Command Center was infecting people with.\u00a0 That minor detail went unexplained as I recall also.<\/p>\n<p>Anyhow, there were some good things in this 1 \u00bd hours of yuck though.\u00a0 Namely, it made the wifey jump out of her skin several times which was quite hilarious.\u00a0 It left her cuddlier with yours-truly (or at least I would like to think so).<\/p>\n<p>In the end, I just quizzed her on if she understood the plot anymore or any less than I did.\u00a0 She said she was as confused as me so I will leave it at that. \u00a0It\u2019s unfortunate because at about one hour into the movie it looked like the movie was building to be something interesting.\u00a0 I assure you \u2013 NOT!<\/p>\n<p>This movie is a true stinker and gets only three Steelers Stars.<\/p>\n<p><center><a
