Weird how Jack Black became the only "star" of that entire cast of preppies.

Moderately entertaining in a Rutger Hauer sort of way.

I always want to like an sf adventure movie, and Rutger Hauer does a good job playing an amiable tough guy. This film goes by pleasantly enough; there's just not enough substance or inspiration or craftsmanship or that much-sought-after sense of fun to make this movie worthwhile. Mostly memorable as the only other movie besides _Dead Poets Society_ in which I've seen Josh Charles. Weird how Ethan Hawke became the only star of that entire cast of preppies
