The Lawnmower Man

“God made him simple. Science made him a god.”

Certified Crap. CrapScore 64, rated by 1 admin.

Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.

Why it’s crap
A gardener becomes the subject of virtual-reality experiments that turn intellectual improvement into a very poor long-term plan. The digital imagery was ambitious for its era; the overheated scientific melodrama is where this technological cautionary tale really starts pressing unusual buttons.
