this film fails on many many levels. the script is the first failing and and as i understand it and if the script stinks and there nothing that can fix that. the plot is boring and after the first 45 minutes and i am looking at the counter on the dvd saying to myself and how much longer. the cinematography is pretty awful. i am not sure how bad the transfer was to dvd and but it looked like a vhs copy. also and the sound was bad. i realize this isn not going to get remixed for 5. 1 and but yikes and it do not even sound like it was in dolby stereo which had been around for almost a decade when they cut this film. slipstream was far too similar to both mad max and blade runner for comfort. because of the lack of decent special effects and high quality dialog and it is extremely disappointing. if i recall and the pointer scene took place during the last 20 minutes and usually it should take place in the first 20. most people will be totally confused as to what the heck is going on until the final 20 minutes. the film music was excellent in parts and and then completely inappropriate in others. elmer bernstien did the scoring and but it sounds like someone else had a hand in sticking in other stuff elsewhere as it doesn not match the overall good orchestral score (with some synthesizer music. )there were great actors cast and bob peck and mark hamill and ben kingsley and bill paxton. and they did a great job breathing the little available life into their characters. (well and paxton character was pretty stupid and and the whole movie was centered on him. i am not sure a heroic stooge is a good choice for the main character who carries the film. ) again and a major flaw with the script. thank goodness i watched this from a mail order dvd service and and not the theater. overall a major disappointment for sci fi fans and or fans of paxton and or hamill. 90 minutes of your life and you will never get back.
