There's one scene that I REALLY liked in this. When the aliens first attack, I was thrilled. I was thinking to myself, "What's wrong with the critics? This is awesome!!" Then the rest of the movie happened.

 

The characters aren't developed at all. They're obnoxious and annoying, with Rachael Taylor and Emile Hirsch grating especially. Director Chris Gorak shows no competantcy in staging alien attacks beyond that first scene.

 

But the film's biggest problem was what drew me to the movie: the aliens. Instead of being interesting, they're nothing more than a crutch to keep the budget down. In addition, the film was shown in 3-D. The film is mostly dark. I think you can figure out what the problem here is. The script is lazy and full of cliches. At one point, Emile Hirsch is dressed up like a Ghostbuster!

 

I will say this, there's more laughs here than there is in Ghostbusters II! Grade: C-

 

Next-up: John Carter!

 

I also don't know if it has enough well-known actors to be nominated for anything against everything else that's already being discussed -- as much as it might deserve to.

 

EDIT: To jesse685, I thought the plot was similar to SKYLINE as well. Even more similar than SKYLINE and Battle: Los Angeles.

I have already seen my choice for the Worst Picture of the year (or any of the last 20 years, for that matter!) which also deserves to "win" Worst Screenplay, Worst Director, Worst Screen Couple and BOTH Worst Actor AND Worst Actress: Adam Sandler as hideous "twins" in the insufferable "comedy" Jack and Jill. 

If that doesn't sweep this year's Razzie awards, there is no justice...
