Over-rated SF Garbage

Rating: 1/10 (21 November 2016)

Folks we all know that many of the reviews submitted to IMDb are from the people who either made the movie or knew someone in the cast or crew. That's the only way I can explain that high overall review rating for this terribly boring and poorly made attempt at SF. First let's start with the so-called aliens. All the writer/director did with this thing was to use octopuses (or would that be octopi) as the model for alien creatures (wow how 50ish) and they even used the fact that the earth bound octopus species uses black ink, which it squirts in a defensive mode) to somehow communicate with humans. Overall, it was just another left wing Hollywood picture that puts humans in a "bad light" because we supposedly can't get along and therefore allow our murderous intentions toward the alien visitors to run rampant. It was poorly done and in the theater I attended, right around 1/4 of the people left before it was over. If this stupid movie is given an above 8.0 rating (out of 10) then, as Trump says, this system is rigged.
