 | Dreamcatcher almost gives 'Lifeforce' a run for its money in the greatest unintentional comedy ever made stakes. I had to rewind whole chunks of the movie to check my eyes weren't deceiving me: oh, if only I hadn't had the flu the one week it played over here - to have seen this one with an audience! After a solid opening its descent into insanity is so rapid and so unashamed that you could never mistake it for a good film but still end up loving it more than many an undisputed classic because it's just so much fun. At times you even find yourself wondering if Lawrence Kasdan made it as a drunken dare. If so, all I can say is get that man another dozen drinks, and fast!
This fantastic (in every sense) movie has everything - Ripleys and s**tweasels, Damian Lewis doing a comedy English accent whenever he's possessed by the alien 'Mr Grey', Morgan Freeman with crazy giant white eyebrows that even David Hemmings would have envied waxing lyrical about John Wayne's gun, Tom Sizemore seeing those aliens long before the effects boys put them in the picture, a s**tweasel trying to bite Timothy Olyphant's dick off, the toilet scene from hell and more farting in a single motion picture since Blazing Saddles. The only thing that was missing was the gratuitous nudity from Mathilda May, but hey, maybe they're holding that back for the sequel. I am truly content to live in a world where multinational corporations spend tens of millions of dollars on such films. Definitely the most joyful and entertaining film I've seen this year.
The DVD extras are nothing to write home about, but do watch out for one great outtake at the end of the deleted scenes section. |

| I saw this movie 2 years ago and wasn't really expecting much. I mean, this movie was supposed to be just terrible. But, it wasn't. The special effects were good, the plot was (based on a Stephen King book) and I thought that the execution of the movie was also good. Why everyone thinks it's so terrible is a mystery to me. How are Dawn of the Dead and all of the Jason movies and all of that stuff supposed to be great and terrifying movies while this is supposed to be terrible? The movie had some suspensful and scary moments and the aliens looked awesome and freaky. The cast is good with Morgan Freeman brilliant as always.
Oh, and by the way, the movie's about a group of friends that inherit powers from their "special" friend as children and later in life regroup. But when they regroup, there's a small problem. They grab some unconcious strangers and take them to their cabin but they give birth to some mean aliens.
The movie has some gross scenes like when the aliens break free from the bodies but also has some great action and suspensful scenes. This movie is definitely worth a rent.
P.S.: And by the way, now everyone is stealing that scene from Meet Joe Black where Brad Pitt gets hit by that car. There's a scene like that in this movie that's very well made. Awesome special effects!!!! |

| Stephen King is a very good writer and he can make you feel scared, but whn they adapt a book to the movies they only make trash. People full of manias and fears, people with faces of fake fear and trying to make you scared, and non-sense flashbacks. Since "The Shine" no movie had success in movies. And Morgan Freeman can't save the movie. |

| So, I haven't read the book and was interested in seeing this movie. While browsing your revews a horrible thing happened. Just about every one of you retards gave away crucial plot points and even the ending. The whole point of a review is to help people decided if they want to see a movie. Keep that in mind next time, and thanks a lot! |

| this is a 3 or 4 star movie. the fact that the guys bond early with dudits is moving. the fact that he has special powers is cool. morgan freedman does a good job of being crazy. they took out a scene were he shoots a guy when he steals the helicopter but its in the deleted scenes. i liked the ending alot where dudits turns into a superhero. the original ending which is on the dvd wasnt as good. |
