The Canyonlands

Normally I stop watching bad movies within a few minutes but this one suckered me in. I wish it hadn't. The characters were shallow and stereotypical and it was very hard to believe that the contest winners had all taken an hours long drive in the same vehicle to get to the rafting launch without even introducing themselves to each other until they get out upon arrival. Still, the movie's premise had promise so I continued watching where I normally would have called it quits. The further the movies progressed the worse it got but I stuck it out just to find out what all the flashbacks were about. What a nonsensical disappointment. Just... wow. Maybe this will go on to be a cult film but I doubt it. I watch the classic Attack of the Killer Tomatoes again the other day for the first time in decades and it was light years beyond Canyonlands. Perhaps I'll watch Canyonlands again in 35 years and see how it has aged. It did have promise after all.
