Scientology is not a hollywood player



Ouch. I had the pleasure of seeing the last half hour or so of this extravaganza and didn't even care enough to hate it. It was terrible and no fun whatsoever, but still not nearly as bad as I expected. Maybe I just have a high tolerance for sci-fi, but I can't really see the difference with other bad would-be blockbusters that just don't manage to get from bad to so bad it's good. It's a great target for people who despise scientology, but otherwise it's a a waste of time. Boring and stupid, financed by cultists, but not incompetent enough. The most positive thing to come out of this is the realisation that scientology, or any religion for that matter has no grip on art, no matter how much pull you have in Hollywood. Great news for all aesthetes, we probably won't have to sit through god-awful more L. Ron Hubbard adaptations any time soon.
