2 Hours of my life gone...

Rating: 2/10 (16 July 2017)

First of all i have to laugh at all the so called scifi intellectuals who think this is a good scifi film and decry anyone who doesn't like it as a moronic sheep.
It actually proves who the sheep are - just because a film has a totally moronic plot that defies explanation that immediately makes it profound and somehow mind expanding and that a select few Scifi fans with their heads up their bum understand - yeah right. You get the usual pontificators pointing out that it relates to the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis and equally long and obscure words to describe what is in essence a turgid , lifeless 2 hours of complete drivel directed by someone who produced the equally depressing Sicario!
What I also cannot stand in movies and in general is when information / learning is given and is false - Kangaroo means "large foot" and does not mean "I do not understand" which is a complete myth. To make it even more hilarious this myth was debunked in the 1970s by another LINGUIST John B. Haviland in his research with the Guugu Yimithirr people. Having cinema-goers leave the cinema thinking they maybe have learnt something which is false is unforgivable emphasising once more what a con this movie is and how blinkered all of these so called intelligent Scifi buffs are!
The movie moves along like a funeral procession with an awful dirge of whining violins how depressing but it illustrates the directors high opinion of what he thinks he is making.
Folks this is no epic in any way - its some guy who saw a couple of octopi in an aquarium squirting ink to get rid of predators and thought hey i can make a movie out of this and so proceeded to do so.
There are so many plot holes and unbelievable things in this movie like the army being involved in all the decisions - nowhere do we see the President or anyone in charge of operations , a bomb mysteriously gets planted in an alien ship that has travelled millions of miles yet doesn't detect it , the ships mysteriously disappear in a cloud of dust.
The whole movie actually looked like it had been shot on a shoestring budget from the poor black eggs hanging in the sky to the cheap ships interiors and if that wasn't bad enough Jeremy Renner looked like he was bored stiff and just looking to pickup a nice paycheque!
The only thing i enjoyed was reading the pontificating so called scifi fans that are so much more intelligent than us mere mortals that they thought this film was too intelligent for us to understand - no guys it is you who are too up your own bahookies to see that the director was taking the Mickey out of all of the hoighty toighty Scifi buffs who have no life and cant see the wood for the trees and trees for the wood by making a morose and clichéd retread of a zillion other better movies about the human condition and the meaning of life!
The one thing all these co called scifi buffs totally missed is that this film is a blatant ripoff of the old TV Movie Epoch and they call themselves Scifi fans yeah right! There are so many people now that know the price of everything yet the value of nothing - this film wasn't worth the price of a Cinema ticket and it certainly has no value!
My brother rated it as the worst scifi film he has seen in years and although I wouldn't go that far it is dreadful in just about every way and this guy is supposed to be directing the classic remake of Bladerunner - Oh dear is all I can say!
