Beautiful, moving film.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

A Rollerball rip-off, which isn't saying much. Bad acting, directing, writing, and low-budget effects. Instead of a 1 I gave this a 2, for Dean Cain's good attitude throughout this stinking ship. His charm definitely helps. The movie suffers from cheese overload, and becomes unintentionally funny. Chelsea Clinton is President! During a climactic game, Wesley Snipes wears a bicycle helmet over a Predator wig, lol. With the fate of millions riding on a game, there are about 12 fans watching. That's obviously all the budget allowed. There is a scene of fans of the team that just lost cheering! There is a brief shot of many, many fans that seemed to be taken from a major-league baseball stadium and inserted for false effect. The plot is predictable and outlandish. We've seen it in different forms way too many times. There are apparently no police or army quelling things; instead the players are armed and taking matters into their own clumsy hands! I really like Dean Cain, Wesley Snipes and Vanessa Williams, but not in this garbage.

Pop quiz: if you had invented a groundbreaking new sport in your present, what would you call it?Futuresport provides that answer with, of course, the game of futuresport. Futuresport, the game of our future in case you still didn't figure that part out from the title, is a mixture of handball and rollerblading which started on the streets and now, in 2025, has been co-opted by corporate America. While there are still street futuresporters, the pros are clean cut, effeminate, money grabbing glory seekers (and who better to play that role than prettyboy Dean Cain).As it turns out, Hawaii is trying to secede from the union and the only way to prevent this without the use of military force is a winner take all game of futuresport between the clean shaven pros and the down and dirty Hawaiian liberation street ballers. The finale is a climactic battle royale between the pros and the ex-cons with a surprising role reversal by the founder of Futuresport, played by Wesley Snipes. From that point you can guess who wins.While this sounds like a premise with immense negative potential for bad filmmaking, in the end Futuresport is simply mediocre, not mindnumbingly awful. There is decent production quality, the acting is passable, and the storyline predictable, but logical. Other than the title and premise, a bad, but not especially memorable film is the result.

This movie had all the key plot points, and was predictable, but the action was great and the scenes were well choreographed. Vanessa Williams brought a touch of class to it, and Dean Cain proved his potential as a leading man in the action genre. But of course, Wesley Snipes made the movie, as he usually does. Solid performances all around. A fun movie I'll definitely watch again.

I liked the setting of an old sports theme placed in future withglobal war on horizon. The sports theme harkens back to M. Rooney and a film called fireball -very old but is basically about playing to be the star of the game vs learning to be a team player. Dean Cain was superb in the role. Using the game to solve a territorial dispute was also interesting. The game itself was believable given advances in technology. Wesley Snipes and Vanessa Williams were also good but the film was Dean's and he pulled it off very well.
