Another great experience from Emmerich

Let me begin by saying that I don't know where the heck all these so-called "critics" are coming from. And the fact that these people thrive on negative criticism further bolsters the mystery.
I guess what I'm trying to say is this: DO NOT MIND THE "CRITICS".
About the movie, well, two words: GREAT EXPERIENCE.
It really had me sucked into its world and I was virtually lost in it. The special effects were incredible and all the actors (and extras) involved really did an amazing job making this movie. Not once did I look at my watch nor did I hesitate to go the restroom (such are subtle signs of a, um, "bad" movie). By all means, the price I paid for my movie ticket was practically a steal. WATCH IT.
Probably the only thing I disliked in this project/movie was that it was designed to cater to EVERY audience; henceforth, it just had to have some scenes tailored for different people. In this regard, unnecessary, cheesy and downright out-of-place scenes (among other things) were included (but for other types of audiences, it maybe alright or "appropriate").
All in all, however, really amazing. Do not believe the "critics" who dub this movie "mindless" or "lacking in depth" or all those poorly used words. In fact, don't listen to any of them, at all. Just go see it, yourself. You'll thank me after the movie.
