The most interesting thing about this movie is how it ended John McTiernan’s career.
It is shockingly shit.
Is this a B movie, or just a shitty movie from the early 2000’s. I feel like this had a good amount of money behind it with relatively famous cast. I mean LL Cool J , Rebecca Romaijn, that French guy lol
I feel it falls into a weird category of 2000s movies.
Its not bad but its really not good. Its well shot, well edited, the special effects are pretty good, the acting is at least competent and the production values are there but its just uninspired, formulaic and weirdly sanitised. Its like chain restaraunt food. There were oh so many of them too. Like you can watch them and be like “Yep, that was a movie.”
It’s a remake of a less shitty 80’s movie, for whatever that’s worth? 🤷♂️
The 1975 original is a B movie and yet has an IMDB score more than double what this crap remake has. The 1975 version also has James Caan, Academy Award winner John Houseman, twice academy award nominated Ralph Richardson and numerous academy award nominee Norman Jewison as director.
I don’t think that the 1975 was a B movie, but it was a very good science-fiction and dystopian movie.
Edited to add themovieDB link: Rollerball (1975)This. The original rocks.
Jon-a-thon!

That scene with the tree, where they’re all laughing with their gun… I saw that movie when I was a lil kid and a lot of it went over my head, but I still remember that scene.
Fuck Tubi.
Wat is it you hate about Tubi? I’ve been using it recently but warily.
