@jayvardy Remember though these ratings are based on my enjoyment of the film not how well it's made.

So I'm guessing this isn;t a Philly D style sponsored review then.

Thanks for the review. Saved me the frustration of sitting through this.

wait but you do like the special effects right? because they are absolutely amazing special effect. the ships, the nuke, the big monsters, the whirlwinds of people going up into the ships, those were unbelievable. I mean, when those blue orbs/beams came down onto the city and the circular camera angle around the city was pretty sweet. just sayin.....

Tom, I couldn't agree more my friend. Watched this few weeks ago was so hoping that all the bad press I'd read about this was wrong. Ermmm. Nope. :( Few decent visuals sure but as you say I could not have given less a damn about the shite characterization and the fact it is so COMPLETELY BORING AND DERIVATIVE sure dont help. And WTF was that ending??! And Skyline 2 is in the works??! Errr didn't this movie bomb like Hiroshima?! Jesus H..........Anyways your the dude keep up the good work ;)

Well, this movie wasn't horrible. It was disappointing but not horrible. The acting was decent but its storyline brings Nothing new to the game - just cheap and poor imitation of War of the Worlds, Cloverfield and even The X Files. Some moments reminded me Supernova (2000) and Alien franchise

The Best and the most unique SCI-FI movies were in the 50's, 70's, 80's and 90's. Unfortunately Our modern so-called "blockbusters" are poor sequels, useless remakes, stupid rip offs etc

another movie where the beginning gets u interestd then kaboom suiside....check out "southland tales" and the same thing in the beginning theres a kids party then an atomic bomb goes off then there a mess of a movie that makes no fuckn sense.

cmon i liked this movie 8 out of 10 i enjoyed it

[PatrickRoss45]

You were generous.

[pecman2000]

Bad film yes, but a sequel has to happen for to give the first one any kind of credibility and point. Personally i felt there were a couple of redeeming scenes in this, the stealth bomber attack on the mother ship was a corker!
