So bad that it had to be intentional.
It's just so bad that there's no way on Earth it wasn't intentional. It's just so horrendous that at every turn it has you thinking "oops, they should have done that a different way", and you know immediately which way. It's as if someone binged on Bladrunner-Back to the Future 2-Total Recall-Dune and decided to parody what they remembered seeing. It's just so weird, I don't get it. It's like the director had all these great ideas lined up because you see glimpses of it but somehow he had to go with plan b and plan c instead.
It's in 2024 and the ozone is trashed, yet they're driving around in 50's and 60's cars? Why is Mcloud banging a chick he just met in an alleyway and how has she never seen a blue sky since she was only born a few years after highlander 1? Who knows where/when Mcloud came from, he appears to just pop up out of the ether in this. And that hoarse voiced old man version of him is atrocious. That's like the stereotypical way we pretend old people speak, and they actually acted it out that way! It's just so weird, as weird as bald actors wearing long haired wigs and wielding swords, not that I dislike the swordplay. And the Master Yoda move with the giant fan, WTF! The dialogue was the worst though, it's at the level that "garth merenghi's: dark place" so beautifully joked about.
