Robert Brousseau's “RACE”

Robert Brousseau's “RACE”

A quick and dirty movie review by Dennis D. McDonald

Plot summary:

  • This is the “intergalactic pod race” story you get from people who don’t read enough good science fiction.

What’s Good:

  • Color

  • Space Effects

  • Vehicle Design

  • Sound

What’s Bad:

  • Plot (derivative)

  • Dialog (derivative)

  • Music (hackneyed)

  • Alien Design (“Star Wars” vintage)

  • Animation (late 20th century graphics)

  • Characters (stereotypes, especially the pneumatic female figures)

Recommendation:

  • Mildly entertaining. Don’t expect a lot.
