Okay, so this movie isn't the greatest but I'm a scifi fan so it automatically leaps beyond other normal movies for me just because I think scifi/fantasy requires MORE imagination then most of your other types of movies..
Pepper isn't awful and neither is Travolta/Whitaker but there not awesome either at the core I'd say this movie is missing most likely a creative script or just really good direction..
This movie lacks some thing but I can't pinpoint exactly what it is.. words like excitement, caring for the characters etc. seems to narrow it down..
A scan of the director's career shows nothing but bomb's since he first got started (big mistake choosing him then) the only redeeming movie he made based on IMDb was in 1982 called "The Sender" it's on my todo list to see as well
Any way let me point out what I like about this movie - Use of nuclear weapons (always peaks my interest) - Interesting some times technology like the transportation at the end and the device used to teach Johnny to be smart - A plot that likely could have been much better your typical Star Wars plot almost..
I think my synopsis here is that the Director failed in the mission on this movie and since he has repeat failures here on record, (all the actors involved have proved there talent or a director has made them look good in other movies say Travolta/Whitaker in Phenomenon and Pepper in Snow Walker/Private Ryan etc.) I'd say he was a poor choice for the job.. Maybe the huge Budget on this movie went up the Director's nose
