How many kids playing video games have wished for this to happen? You’re actually training to fly a real life space-ship? there are really aliens out there? cool! the best thing about this movie was its early use of computer effects for the outer-space scenes. Sure it looks fake, but that was the limit of the computers of the day. After a few minutes, your mind will just accept it as real.
Somebody figures that they can make one more really cheap movie. There should be enough die-hard fans to turn a profit. But the key is, the investment in the movie has to be really small. Jaws 1,2,3,4 is a perfect example of this series of events. Jaws 4 was so bad it was laughable. The shark follows the family to Florida? Is this a comedy? What began as a real work of art (the original) finally fizzled and faded away with Jaws 4. It’s a shame that this movie even has “Jaws” in the title.
