Hey guys. I've heard the worst about this movie, but i'm really wondering, is it a "so bad that's good" kind of movie, or just plain bad? I'm wondering if it would be fun to watch on a drunken night, or just skip it completely! Is it entertaining at all?

It's so bad is hilarious. Watch it as a comedy and you'll never regret it.

It's a must see. It's definitely one of the worst as a big budget films, though, so brace yourself.

It's not that funny really, it's not like The Room or Batman & Robin. It's just a dumb, plodding sci-fi film with cheap CGI. The only fun thing in it is Travolta's scenery chewing.
For something released by a big studio (Warner Bros) it's particularly poor, but it's probably no worse than most low budget direct-to-DVD sci-fi, action and horror movies.
Maybe it's more of a laugh if you watch it with friends + alcohol, watching it sober and alone, not so much.

Travolta elevates it from merely awful to hilariously awful. He's quite incredible.

I truly think it has a cult following for its badness.
Hilarious to rip to shreds on a boozey night with friends.

It's entertaining once, but impossible to watch a second time, as the novelty value has worn off and you can see just how bad it really is.
