there are bad movies. slipstream happens to be a real bad one. the idea itself is cool. but that's it. really. bad script. bat acting. stupid characters. plot holes.come on, the bank-robbers in the bus start to sing? i just don't believe this is real. i feel i've just lost another 80 minutes precious time.the explanation, which characters can travel back in time, and what will remain the same (clothes, money, but not the bullets) is a joke. probably the best part is, when the time-travel-ipod-like-gadget gets hooked on via USB to a laptop, because it's screen broke. you can probably think, that this movie is a spoof of its own. avoid this one.go and watch "the butterfly effect".

This almost feels as if a Schizophrenic was getting Alzheimers. Maybe it is a parody on the movie industry. However, when we work to show a purpose for living, I believe Sir Anthony is looking in vain if all there is to life is time. We are better than that. Movies portray the greatness of man and man at his worst. Each one of us touches other human beings and movie makers can make people think or let people escape. While this film may make one think, it is very confusing and it bounces off the wall. Great movies such as "The Lion in the Winter" was complicated, showed human weakness and human spirit. Sir Hopkins' role as the writer in this is just too strange to wrap one's mind around and understand. I could not escape nor could I relate to the characters with my life experiences. Therefore, I cannot rate this film highly.

While this may make me vulnerable to an immense deal of hate e-mail, I actually enjoyed Slipstream. I think the main reason people don't like this movie is because it's so different from other movies that nobody understands it. Of course, the meanings of the dialogue is probably lost in translation to other languages, which probably explains the amount of international bad reviews, but also, the mere amount of mind-boggling ideas in the movie probably wrote the average viewers right off. The slow startup of the movie deterred the impatient viewers. That's somewhere between one-third and one-half of the viewers right there. For the rest of us, though, who can actually stand through the mind mashers and the snore moments, this movie is actually solid. As for the storyline, you just need to wait for a little while. It'll show up.

Oh, that was a really bad film. I like sci-fi very much, but this one... this is not sci-fi, this is a low-budget, low-story, low-acting "low-film". During watching the film I was waiting for something good, a good scene, a new idea, or... something. Unfortunately the end credits came before I found anything like this. Such a bad plot, the conversations... how could somebody write it down and make a film from it? Did he/she mean it really? I don't understand why such films are born, and why the people like it. Maybe I'am wrong, or something. If you want to absolutely rest your brain and see something dumb, without humor, without actions or drama, then this is your film, go for it.
