...........Yuck. Great makeup and interesting -if not inspired- costumes languish in a typically Burtonesque post apocalyptic Goth world.

The characters might as well have been cardboard standups for all the depth shown. The storyline was improbable to the point of being laughable. The ridiculous actobatics made me think of Saturday Night Live doing a spoof of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in monkey suits.

I came out of the theater shaking my head, and looking for the answer to 2 questions-

1) Captain Leo arrives clean shaven, sporting a crew cut, good teeth and wearing a SPACESUIT amidst a bunch of filthy, forest dwelling savages in loincloths. How is it noone thinks this is odd? Why doesn't Helena Bonham Carter's character believe his explaination just by looking at his SPACE BOOTS which look nothing like anything she's seen before?

2) I want to know how those unwashed savages in loincloths got Wonder Bras and lipstick in the rain forest......

Don't wait in line to see this one, wait until it goes on special at the video counter.

Just my 2¢
