Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension, The (1984)


The film follows the adventures of Peter Weller as the multi-talented captain of a crew of kooky characters. With a great supporting cast consisting of Jeff Goldblum, John Lithgow, Christopher Lloyd, and Clancy Brown, one would think nothing could go wrong, but the film makes so many off-the-wall decisions with its plot and characters that you end up with one big mess. It has everything going for it, colorful characters, great actors, great 80s special effects, a unique concept, and a good soundtrack, but unfortunately it's missing a cohesiveness and focus that left me more confused than entertained.
