Review of Futuresport (1999) by Matthew S — 16 Jan 2011
In the future (2025 to be precise), a nonsensical mutation of hockey will inexplicably become the most popular thing in the world. So popular, in fact, that it will replace war simply by the sport's champion suggesting it. He didn't even have to meet with any government officials about it. He just challenged the enemy on television. Way to go, Dean Cain.
So, to start, the movie had a pretty far-fetched premise. I'm sure a decent story about replacing war with a game could be told, but this sure isn't it. This really seemed like it was written by high schoolers. There's not much point in getting into the mediocre acting, dull action scenes, or the hoverboards blatantly stolen (but not executed as well) from Back to the Future, Part II.
The big question with this one is: Is it the good-bad type of bad movie? If you're into sports movies, definitely. If not, maybe.
