Ohhh Dear..... There we were 3 of us bored bored, just hanging round parking lots and vending machines so we thought we'd make it a trip to the Cinema to pass some time….. but what was to come was more harsh than collecting tokens on the fun cart grand prix at the funhouse, we checked the boards to see what was on….. but back in 1995 everything looked pretty rank so we decided to watch Apollo 13 as it had been given good ratings from magazine’s and TV ad’s and suchlike. But upon entering we quickly realised that this film wasn’t going nowhere until the bass line kicked….. and that never did… Tom Hanks was such a boring fucka in it, talked boring and never did anything remotely exciting, although this film was based on a true story watching this didn’t really make you feel worried for the people on the shuttle but worried of how long this film was actually gonna last. Waiting and waiting we did….. and still no sign of any type of action… Tom Hanks and his co-mates still stuck in space after ages and ages of nothing happening, I think maybe they wanted to make you feel as bored as the crew members were, and boy they sure did that, my ass was starting to turn to stone as I lost all feeling in it and felt like I was floating in orbit too. I think the director wanted to gain an air of tension while they were trapped in space… but after watching hours of them in space chewing gum and listening to a crap walkman it just made me want to finish them off and maybe shoot myself as well. As we had nothing to do and we had paid for the film we decided to stick with it for the remaining 10 minutes….. Or so we thought. The film was draining every life source that I had in me and putting me into a high level of corpser it seemed like we had been in that cinema forever, all that seemed to be going on was mission control pissing about and making mistakes and the pilots were as bored as we were. By this time all the tension of the film and the fact of it being a true story had faded away with my life force. I didn’t really feel tired but I just felt ultimately fucked.. As if id been sitting watching trees for a week. Finally they got the fuckers back safely and I thought thank fuck for that, I didn’t feel happy for them but the sigh of relief came because I knew I was gonna get out of the damn cinema and not have to suffer anymore of watching these boring bastards. The only thing that was decent about it was that they actually got them floating about like a pack of assholes without actually going into space, but this special effect kinda wore off after the first 5 mins of watching it and you actually wanted them to have gone into space so they cannot make such crap movies anymore. So after the movie ended we staggered out of the cinema half human and thinking to ourselves “never again”, After watching this film it made hanging round vending machines seem exciting and I would say it was “THE” worst film ive ever seen.. Although clockwork orgy comes in a very close second.
