| | Dreamcatcher (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) |
 | | In its tale of Asian Jue and her African-American captain Thaddeus, the picture is comfortably multi-cultural in a way that places the series as the appropriate successor to "Star Trek", while being a mature action film leavened by sexuality which, after all, is what the original film offered as well. |
 | | Dreamcatcher has no internal logic, in other words, and, free of the irritating bonds of coherence, it's also free of stakes and tension. |
 | | Like the book, the film is overlong (at a slow 135 minutes) and only really engages during its prologue, providing maddening glimpses of promising storylines and character moments tossed aside in favour of being a cut-rate adaptation of a cut-rate King novel. |
