TheLittleSongbird I was expecting little from Landspeed. But actually it was better than I expected, though not without its flaws. The dialogue is horrendously corny, the story thin and hackneyed, the editing sometimes on the choppy side of things and the effects incredibly cheap-looking.However, the racing sequences are fun, going at a good pace and having some nice thrills and the direction is generally competent. The characters are much more interesting and likable than you'd expect and the acting is better than average. Billy Zane greatly amuses as a smart-ass sort of character.All in all, a long way from great but considering my low expectations Landspeed also wasn't that bad either. 6/10 Bethany Cox

cyberent I saw this film on the Sci Fi Channel and thought the storyline was horribly corny and the acting was tragic at best. By the way, did anybody catch some of the names in the end credits? Obviously the film makers didn't take themselves too seriously. But being a car guy, I was intrigued with the cool designs of the cars so in my typical nosey fashion, I had to research some of the sponsors and logos listed. So I stumbled across an auto racing forum that the designer of this film (David) and his friends had posted some comments about: http://forums.realride.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=145 An interesting insight to the behind the scenes difficulties they had making this film, budget and time being the obvious factors. However, it seems the main car was built full scale car and all the other cars are partial sections with the obvious CGI embellishment. He also seems to be quite knowledgeable about racing which is perhaps why he was hired for the job. Looks like he also enlisted some help from Craig Breedlove's design team too. Before reading these comments, I would have given this film a 4 but having had a little more insight now, I give the film makers credit for trying to achieve much more with little resources.

scott_saidel Ignore the British guy. He obviously missed HIS tea this afternoon!It is a movie - it is Hollywood, not the Discovery Channel.No one ever went Mach 2. Long time until they even try.There was never a 5 car competition.There was never a $50 million prize.There was never a go-PD race.There was never some big love triangle between the drivers and managers.Stop whining.Sit down, shut up, enjoy the movie. Oh yeah, don't miss the disclaimer at the end about it being a work of fiction and that no real people, places or things are represented.By the way, the plot is hackneyed, the acting is decent, the special effects are nothing special - just a good, sit down and enjoy the testosterone flick.

kickserve In my opinion land speed was the greatest movie ever created. It mixes the type of action, romance and comedy that you could want in a movie. The jokes are great, the graphics are cutting edge and the whole movie just makes since. It is extremely easy to follow which makes it a fantastic movie for all ages. I personally saw this movie three times in the movie theater by myself and twice with my girlfriend. Its the kind of movie that keeps you on the edge of your seat to see how and when they are going to achieve the goal of Mach 2. The exhilarating race at the end is a brilliant way to end a classic movie like this. So, If you want to see a bad ass movie with your friends, or a cute movie to snuggle up with your sweetie...Landspeed is definitely worth it.
