Slipstream
“From the depths of the earth. To the edge of existence... The hunt is on!”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 50, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
Bounty hunters navigate a wind-ravaged future in fragile aircraft, with Mark Hamill among the travellers. The cast and landscape give this odd adventure more presence than its reputation suggests. Its detour into a different kind of society can stall the journey, but the airborne world remains inviting.
