RiverWorld
SCORE: 46
I am a sucker for movies in the bargain bin. Especially when they have a sci-fi feel to them. And if they look like they are high quality. You know what they say about judging a book by its cover. And many times there are reasons certain movies are in the bargain bin. I also do everything possible to avoid Restricted movies. It is interesting that there are so many Restricted moves in the bargain bins too. I guess they do not keep their value.
RiverWorld may be the worst movie I have seen all year long. After people die on earth they re-appear on this RiverWorld. If they die there they just come back. This highly advance alien race is bringing them back to life. It is unclear what is actually going on. Even at the end of the movie there are more questions than answers.
People from different time eras come together in RiverWorld. Somehow they speak the same language - English. Characters can continue relationships or start new ones with different characters. This leads to all kinds of moral and ethical dilemmas.
RiverWorld has blood and gore aplenty. After all they can kill off characters and bring them back - over and over again. Bad language flows as freely as water in this movie as well. There are multiple forms of sexual deviancy in RiverWorld as well. The odd after life beliefs taught in RiverWorld compound the plethora of problems with this film.
Too much of RiverWorld makes no logical sense. Like the different alien factions and their beliefs. What actually happened to planet Earth - if anything. Rivers run to the source - but the entire monster planet has rivers everywhere. The different groups battling it out.
Families are not represented in RiverWorld in a positive light. Christian beliefs are attacked - as if that bigotry is anything new from Hollywood. Their hatred for anything good is extremely well documented.
The deceit, and ugliness in RiverWorld
feel so pointless. The never ending cycle of revenge just keeps on
churning thanks to characters constantly coming back to life. Although
it may take one character five years, or five days. How that works was
never explained to my satisfaction. RiverWorld is a major
disappointment. I wasted money on this product, and will avoid any
sequels.
