Two days ago I rented 3 movies from the local store. At somebody's request I also rented The Helix... Loaded (Ahorix in Japanese (aho = idiot)) a parody of The Matrix.
Not being a big fan of the original movie and knowing how rare can be a good parody, I rented it with some skepticism.
The movie however beat all my expectations, in a negative way. I couldn't force myself past the first 10 minutes.
This parody is completely pointless, it looks like some home movie, but a lot less funny, because it also includes some decent (by home-movie standard) special effects. At least it could have been funny for being blatantly cheap, but instead it's sad for showing that someone actually put any money into it (and me for accepting to rent this lemon).
I'm just glad that I only wasted 10 minutes into it... the whole thing is 1 hour and a half. I actually think that if I had to waste 97 minutes of my life for something so void, I would probably enjoy more playing with the actual DVD disc for its intriguing prismatic effects.

Some movies are so good that one must see them, some are so bad that one has to see them.. this movie is so empty and unfunny that it really has no point. Or maybe one could create the category of movies that are so unintentionally unfunny that one has to rent them to try watch the first 5-10 minutes to feel what is like to be lobotomized.

Very sad indeed.
