Summary: Are you paying attention?
Review: I am pretty much interested in technology and Dean Cain. When you combine the two, you get one great show. But whose paying attention to the plot when I was going "WoW! what a high tech gadget." and "Oh, wow! He's is sure handsome." All in all the show was okay, with two very nude female scenes, I just skipped over that part.But half the time I wasn't even watching, just in a daze looking at that gorgeous man and noticing how it relates to "Lois and Clark. The new adventure of Superman." Oh, the twist in the plot was nice too. Dean getting killed by his best jamacian friend from down under...or not.

Summary: No Future for this "Futuresport"
Review: I was being kind to give this DVD a 3 rating. I was disapointed in the actors and the plot was so over-used that I fell asleep a few times. So you've got your "futuresport", a combination of hocky, rollerball, and anti-grav boards. What started out as a means of stopping street gangs from fighting has turned into a multi-million dollar world-wide event. The future holds nothing new - we still have primadona atheletes who want megabucks for doing their thing. It boils down to the good guys, lead by Dean Cain, fighting the bad guys for world domination or was it freedom? All I know is it's supposed to stop the terrorist attacks by the "freedom fighters" who want to make their point and in the meantime it will make a lot of money for somebody. Wesley Snipes plays a fading hero with a Rastaman hairdo and accent, who is supposed to have been Dean Cain's mentor, which he was, but now he's in it for the money with the bad guys. Confused yet? Just remember that the good guys always win and Good will always triumph over Evil. Hey, where's my Rum Raizon ice cream?

Summary: A Nice Surprise
Review: I'll be honest, like many of you Dean Cain fans (namely the women)I rented this movie because Dean is the most beautiful man alive. So I went into this movie with a very open mind. To tell you the truth, I really enjoyed the movie. It's a very cool sci-fi, sport, action movie and it's not that bad. At first, it's a little hard to follow, (especially if you're just staring at Dean), but it really makes sense. I guess the plot is a little out there, but so's the future. I mean who knows?-someday the world might be like that. It was good to see Dean play someone other than the sweet and innocent Clark Kent. He's a very talented actor who shouldn't just be remembered as Superman. Vanessa Williams was very good, playing the sassy heroine that knew how to take care of herself. A very believable character. And Wesley Snipes, the comic relief, helped the movie by adding a dash of humor to all the action. If you like, sci-fi, Future Sport is perfect for you-there is more to it than Dean Cain.

Summary: Fast-paced action with gorgeous Dean Cain
Review: In this sci-fi/action-thriller Vanessa L. Williams and Dean Cain combine their devastating good looks to combat evil in the form of Hawaiian seperatists, helped (or hindered??) by Wesley Snipes. And contrary to the impression a fellow reviewer gave, this film can be watched by anyone with a liking for sci-fi and action, not just by people whose brain cell died of loneliness. There is never any doubt who will win but the action, the interesting "sport" Futuresport and a cool version of how the future will look like (especially in the nicer part of town and not in the "Down Zone"...) keep you interested. And Ladies: Dean Cain alone is worth spending money on this video!

Summary: The 'Norch's Saturday Night Bargain-Bin Reviews v1 #2
Review: NOT MUCH OF A FUTURE FOR THIS SPORT Y'know, I just love readin' the blurbs on the backs of video boxes, and then watching the video to see how well the presentation lives up to the praise. Unfortunately, 'Future Sport' didn't live up to its words of kindness very well; I especially got a kick out of the statement about it being 'highly original'. Since when has a sports-related flick that combines just about all the clichés and hackneyed moments you've ever encountered in sports-related flicks wrapped around a so-called 'futuristic' team sport (like duh, right?) that's a bald-faced rip-off of the Rollerball game (the original, not that awful re-make) and featuring characters that came right outta the Mad Max trilogy considered 'original'? And while we're at it, why not set it in a dystopic society, which we've only seen before in, what, a zillion sci-fi mo-pics since the classic silent film 'Metropolis' first hit the big screen? Even the most derivative Rocky sequel has less rehashed material than this load 'o' pap! Throw in acting performances that would've made 'Baywatch' and 'Walker, Texas Ranger' look Emmy-worthy in comparison, badly edited sports-action scenes, really weak trash talking, and some of the most horribly-choreographed hand-to-hand fighting scenes ever imprinted on celluloid, and you've got a show that's almost completely unwatchable, yet strangely compelling at the same time. Starring Dean Cain as FutureSport star Jonathan E-- no wait, that was the starring character of the original Rollerball as played by James Caan. Okay, retake in 3, 2, 1. Starring Dean Cain as' umm' dang, I forgot his character's name. Which is an interesting coincidence, considering most of the rest of this mo-pic is rather forgettable as well. All right, take three in 3, 2, 1. Starring Dean Cain in one of his more notable (heh) post-Lois and Clark projects, FutureSport is proof positive the Superman curse is still alive and kickin'. And what's with co-star Vanessa Williams adding the middle initial 'L' to her marquee? Sheesh, talk about pretentious-- especially when you take into account the fact her acting wouldn't have passed muster on VIP. But the guy whose presence I can't explain for the life of me is Wesley Snipes. How the hey did they manage to corral him into executive-producing and starring in this train wreck? Was it a way for him to get out of a less-than favorable contract? Did he lose a bet? Maybe the director had compromising photos of him with some cattle? In any case, his performance as the Rastafarian inventor of FutureSport was pretty hokey. I especially enjoyed his silly attempt at a Jamaican accent, as well as his being billed as a 'special guest star'. Yeah, he's special, all right-- in the short-bus-riding sense if he's agreeing to do movies like this! 'Late

Summary: Awful plot
Review: The plot was so ridiculous I couldn't even finish the movie. Effects were decent, but not enough to carry the film. Dean Cain is gorgeous with his scruffy unshaven look, and gives a couple of (too brief) topless scenes.

Update- September 24, 2004: It has come to my attention that the reason Vanessa Williams added the "L" to her name was not due to pretentiousness, but because of Screen Actors Guild rules regarding different actors sharing the same name. I apologize for this erroneous and somewhat obnoxious presumption.
The movie still blows, by the way...
