It looks terrible but why does it have a 95% on Rotten Tomatoes.
I enjoyed the Dark Tower series but didn't bother with the film. Reading the reactions of many, many disappointed Dark Tower fans was enough for me to know it would be terrible.
I remember watching Liquid Sky on late night cable TV in the late 80s or early 90s. It is slow as molasses and doesn’t try to make any sense but had a trippy charm I liked. The good parts were few and far between but I can’t say I regretted watching it. At the same time I wouldn’t recommend it either. It was put on blu in the last couple of years, I may revisit sometime.
Mission to Mars I thought was just mediocre not terrible. It lacks any energy, which is odd coming from De Palma.
The Dark Tower is scattered and lifeless. It feels more like a TV pilot from the 90s than a feature film.
But I’m an easy lay when it comes to sf. I’ll watch any sf film no matter how crappy. I’m the same with horror.
