Kyle E Warning: Spoilers This movie is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Even the trailer was cringe worthy. The storyline is bad and the storyline is just like E.T.'s storyline. The effects are bad as well. Honestly, I hate this movie so much that I want to forget about it. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member There was absolutely no way I couldn't see this film. I'd heard so much about it, from scathing written reviews to a hilariously sardonic critique by The Cinema Snob. Even if I knew it would be as horrendous as everyone said it was, my curiosity compelled me to watch it. I can now safely join the detractors in saying that Nukie is bad; really really bad. I wouldn't say it's the worst I've ever seen, but there certainly isn't anything in it to recommend or enjoy. The story is utterly nonsensical with gaping holes of logic, the dialogue is flat, as is every actor's delivery, to the point where they may as well all be replaced with robots. Nothing in it is fun or exciting, and despite being a children's film it's wildly inappropriate for them, containing scenes of torture, death and a lot of wallowing in misery. It would be too long and painful to watch at 60 minutes, but at 100 it's practically soul-crushing. It's not the worst film I've ever seen, though it's somewhere close. There's been films that have bored, annoyed and repulsed me more, but Nukie is still a dull, uninspired, depressing and incompetent piece of cinematic refuse that ought never to see the light of day. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member worse than Badi. Not a case where it's ,so bad it's good. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Arguably even worse than Badi. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member An ugly, miserable and terrible "E.T." clone that should have been nuked. I'm going as far as one of THE WORST MOVIES I'VE EVER SEEN! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member I watched this movie on a dare. It still haunts my dreams. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
