Future Fear (1997) Reviews

• Good Lordy look out!!!

  I don't know where to begin on this "ahead of its time" movie, if you will. Stacy Keach must have still been doing community service while doing this flick. That is the only way he could have signed up for this beauty. He was definitely doing his deed to society. The reference of the Mad Hatter makes no sense at all. Then again, the entire movie makes no sense. But, I will say this about this mega-hit, it is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen in my life. The main actor, Jeff something, is a crazy lunatic actor with some great potential. He alone is worth seeing. It is a great comedy, even though it is not supposed to be a comedy. Worth seeing? You had better reserve it at Blockbuster tonight!

• Very very Funny

  With all respect to the previous comment "Oh Lordy lookout", how can say this wasn't intentional comedy? The fight bathroom battling spouse's sequence - Jeff Wincott with the plunger and Maria Ford with the knife is one of the funniest, scenes in any movie ever. Bawdy, great action, out-of left-field - and worth the price of the rental easy. A lot of other stuff is deliberately hilarious -sandwitched into a quirk "B" sci-fi story. I think Wincott and Maria Ford (who shows real acting chops and terrific comedic timing) both get a big "thumbs up" here. Give it a break, I've rented a lot bigger budget stuff that delivered a LOT less!

• Through The Looking Glass, And Onto The Seas Of Cheese.

  I caught this one on late night Showtime, and unlike everyone else I didn't think it sucked. The acting was pretty good, and the story was passable for a late night sci-fi flick. The sets and FX were weak, but sets and FX aren't what makes a movie or TV show good, look at Dr Who! I'll grant you that this wasn't on par with Dr Who, but I'd watch Future Fear twice more before reading the back of Twister once. Maria Ford, as usual, made it all worth it. She's smart, a good actor, and drop-dead gorgeous. Stacy Keach and Jeff Wincott were both good as well, with some pretty funny lines and scenes. I give it 6/10.

• Don't Fear this great movie!

  If you love to watch bad movies, then here's one for you. Though not quite as great as Troll 2, Robot vs. the Aztec Mummy, or Black Rage, Future Fear is definitely worth watching for all you freaks out there. A the start of the movie, you get to see what looks like two remote-control planes flying through a desert. At least I thought they were remote control. It turns out that they're supposed to be real! That's where the fun begins. Soon you find out about the confusing plot involving the rights of cloned fetuses, who one of the main characters loves with a mother's passion. Then you'll get to see the bad-guy' fortress, which on the inside looks just like any old office building, and numerous other details. Overall, the acting is abysmal, the plot is nonexistant, and the special effects are a sin on all of humanity--which leaves you with a fine film indeed. Watch it as soon as possible!

• MY WIFE IS TRYING TO KILL ME

  nogodnomasters2019-05-02

  The earth retrieves some RNA and then later it is a virus, from a comet and deliberately crash it into Africa in hopes that it will ravage the planet of much of the human life to pave the way for the "Aryan Messiah" according to General Wallace (Stacy Keach). The virus managed to survive the inferno of the crash. The beginning of the film has flashbacks of John Denniel (Jeff Wincott) and him narrating his bad dream about the death of his father. John who is scientific researcher and helicopter pilot id being pursued by his wife Anna (Maria Ford) fellow researcher and helicopter pilot. She is attempting to shoot down his helicopter to recover "the ark." What we notice is that their clothes are color coordinated with the color of the helicopter with Ford in red and Wincott in blue. Clearly this is the work of the genius of Roger Corman who created well coordinated costumes and vehicles in "Death Race 2000" perhaps the greatest snub in Oscar History since "Billy Jack" or anything Jennifer Aniston thinks she deserves. What Anna wants is the other half of the story. They managed to have created zygotes of mixed human/animal genes from which they can extract serum for a cure to save the planet. He wants to extract the serum and allow the zygotes to die while Maria wants to bring the Doctor Moreau zygotes to term because they may have souls...even though they will most likely die at some point while developing. This seem liked a great idea, but they employed deplorable actors and dialogue to bring this film to life plus the low budget aspect turned this into a nearly unwatchable film with the distraction of the idiotic Alice in Wonderland metaphors and dream sequence that should have been spent on developing a better linear plot. Yes, Maria Ford gets naked early in the film, but if you keep watching just or another scene of her, you are wasting your time. Guide: F-bomb, sex, nudity.
