Why so much hype?

One of my all time favorites.

Memorable, crazy movie

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

If you could morph "Saved By The Bell" or "Guiding Light" into a Science Fiction flick then Future Sport would be the result. But know that Saved by the Bell and Guiding Light are worthy of Oscar Awards when compared to Future Sport. Yes... Future Sport is really that bad. I'm not much of a Science Fiction fan, but this movie is beyond awful. If you enjoy feeling embarrassed for actors/actresses/directors and/or watching bad movies for the fun of it and/or building up your memory of bad one-liners then this movie could be a fun watch.I would say this movie could be enjoyable for children, but then there are plenty of "light curse words" injected into the script (mostly words like damn, hell, and the like) and there are some soap opera like adult situations. Better yet... If your children watch this movie and actually enjoy it, then you have clearly failed as a parent.

I have to admit that I have seen some truly awful movies in my life, but this one takes the cake. This movie took most of the respect I had for Snipes and killed it. There is nothing positive I can say. This is one of those movies that is so bad it is unintentionally funny. Between the acting, writing, directing, and special effects, there is not one positive. For instance, one exchange between Fixx and Sythe after Coach Douglas is killed by the mechanical spider goes as follows: "Fixx: Hell yeah, I hired you to make sure no one gets hurt. Sythe: Yeah. Fixx: Douglas is dead. Sythe: So?" That doesn't even make sense. As for the special effects, final game contains some of the fakest scenes I have ever seen. For instance, the leg break is clearly an empty pant leg with padding inside. Then there is the interception that Tre makes at the end of the game when he flies high above the court and his cheeks flap in the wind. Then, the worst of all is the back-flip/front-flip/barrel roll that Tre pulls off to tie the game. I cannot say enough bad things about this film.

I thought it was a fun movie to watch. Kind of mindless entertainment. Anybody who likes this should see the great Sci fi movie Rollerball. This movie pales in comparison, but judged on it's own Futuresport is a fun 90 minutes of entertainment.

Futuresport is a movie with famous actors and actresses, e.g Wesley Snipes. The direction is not bad, but the special effects are great for a TV movie. The idea of this movie is not very interesting and intelligent, but the movie has a good atmosphere and is amusing. If you want to watch a movie without any intelligent content, you should watch Futuresport. Marking: *** (******)
