I just saw some absolutely stunning special effects attached to one of the most pathetically awful movies I have ever endured. Yowie, was it grotesque, or was it merely unbearably STUPID? I am amazed that there has been all this whining about Wargames when there is this reeking b.m. lying around to lambast. Wargames is not very correct, yes, and I am sure some of us found the computer geeks a bit, ahem, close to home, but it was basically a cute little movie with a good heart. (Incidentally, none of my non-computer friends came out of this movie (wargames) with any other reactions than "war is bad" "the military is not too neat either" and "I'm glad to see a movie that feeds me some more or less accurate computer pabulum". No Neo-Luddite terminal smashing, no crossing me off their social calendar as a Member Of The Forces Of EVILLLL! as some submitters seem to think the pathetic, gullible, stupid non-computer literate masses will react. Yes, Virginia, there are intelligent reasonable people out there who don't know anything about computers. Speaking of the Forces of Evil, or at least the twin sons of Baal, Greed and Banality, a resounding oink to all connected with the rotting Jedi, and may the all be slowly roasted over a huge pyre of Ewok dolls, Ewok records, Ewok t-shirts, Ewok sneakers, Ewok disposable diapers, Ewok condoms , who knows. And yes, the ending was incredible. My friend said, "Now just wait. this is really bad." (friend went again to t\see the effects. effects are worth enduring the movie) So I waited. I was attacked by "Get down and boogie with the Ewoks". I nearly fainted. Then, the clincher. The Father, Son, and Holy Yoda. Or was it Abraham Martin and John? ooog. this movie is almost worse than Damien Omen III. But the effects were apparently done by God, so I did get my $5.50 worth.
