Utter bilge!

Rating: 6/10 (6 June 2010)

Yes this is 'Science Fiction', but the intended relationships with the elements of reality were so poor that they grated on my nerves throughout.
Very clever CGI. Lovely colours. Sexy aliens. Characters absolutely unsympathetic. I couldn't develop any empathy at all with who they were or what they were doing. Any of them.
The military staff were portrayed as the worst kind of gung-ho 'shoot-em- ups', full of prejudice against the natives of the land they have invaded so that they can steal the resources. The director couldn't have been less subtle in taking a swipe at Americans and America's foreign policies. Unintelligent.
Was the film intended for an audience so self-centred and insulated from the world that the message needed to be force-fed at the expense of the final quality of the film?
