Sci-Fi Party Line #263 2016 Film Review + TURD OFF Part 3


It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

It’s part 3 of the SEVENTH ANNUAL SCI-FI PARTY LINE TURD OFF!
Your patience has paid off! Cat (@fancyfembot) and Carl (@robominister)Β wrap up the longest TURD OFF ever. Before we do, we review Star Trek Beyond. After that, we decide which was the turdiest sci-fi film of 2016: Arrival, Morgan, Independence Day: Resurgence, or X-Men: Apocalypse.

These are the criteria that we base our decision:
1) Squandered Effects: Did they have a budget and use SFX in a meaningful way to advance the story or were SFX not compelling and misused/underutilized given the budget of the film?
2) Acting?: The acting contribute to the enjoyment of the film or was it painful to watch? Did the casting make sense for the film?
3) Turdage Per Dollar: Was there a big budget and nothing to show for it? Did they use the budget to create an effective film or was it wasted?
4) Fury Up On Exit: Were you pissed off when you were done watching this film? Do you still have residual fury when you talk about it?
5) Which Sequel Would Offend the Least?: Do you want a sequel? Could you tolerate a sequel?
