Great Film overall
It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
Today I passed an afternoon with a friend and at 17:00 we rented and saw this movie.I found the title a bit weird because I taught ''It's a spoof of 2001: A space Odissey'', but I (and my friend) after the first 5 minutes realized that this is not a spoof, but one of the worst movies ever made in cinema history!Let me tell you that this movie looks like written by a bunch of animals and directed by a 3-month old child! Leslie Nielsen must have been ashamed of starring in this movie and he maybe did it for money, but the movie it's lame! I only saw this movie because I am a fan of Ezio Greggio, an actor known here in Italy for ''Striscia la Notizia'', and he is the only funny actor in the movie. I am really proud of the fact I didn't starred in this movie, because it would have been really a painful experience for me!Advice: DON'T SEE THIS MOVIE! IF YOU FIND IT IN DVD BURN IT! IT'S A TOTAL WAIST OF TIME! INSTEAD OF SEEING THIS MOVIE DO SOMETHING MORE USEFUL LIKE READING A BOOK OR HELPING THE HOMELESS PERSONS!
I read through a lot of the reviews here about this movie and cannot wonder why everyone hates it. It isn't the best comedy, nor is it the best one with Leslie Nielson in it, but... it is funny, with some good toilet humour, some cheap shots, some downright silly stuff which all adds up with a quite good and funny climax to the movie. Give it a chance, it's worth it! Spoilers!!! the funniest part is with the Bill Clinton doubles at the concert near the end, it's also the silliest, but it's partly what gives the movie it's charm. Actually the movie is well paced also without any boring bits, you certainly won't fall asleep (like with the Hulk) and you won't get a sore behind (like with Fight Club), you will smile, smirk and laugh :)
i guess i have seen this movie. i've watched the first 15 minutes of it several times, and once i even watched the first 20 minutes. why do i keep trying? because i really like Leslie Nielsen. why don't i watch the whole thing? because it's awful. no, it's worse than awful. it's pathetic, and it's embarrassing. the jokes are not funny, not even when they are off-color. ("stifficus" for a constellation? come on, come on.) do i somehow think it's going to be better the next time i watch? i must think so, because i keep trying. and i suppose one of these days i will try again. it's very sad to see a long-time favorite star descend to such depths. i felt the same way with "the world's greatest lover" with gene wilder. well, i guess it's back to "naked gun" and "dracula - dead and loving it."
Note that I've called this review "'Airplane' in space - part 2!" is because there has already been an "Airplane!" movie that had taken place in space! (Hey, cool rhyme!) "Airplane 2! The Sequel" was the name.Anyways, I've called it that because Leslie Nielsen is in this movie. I remember him from the "Airplane" movies, and I best know him from all three "Naked Gun" movies - "The Naked Gun: From The Files Of 'Police Squad!'," "The Naked Gun 2 and a half," and "The Naked Gun 33 and a third," all of which are reminiscent to the "Airplane" movies because something funny happens every 10 seconds or so.I guess this must be Mr. Nielsen's trademark or something, because "2001: A Space Travesty" is just as funny as all the other movies mentioned!
