God-awful but watchable

Rating: 2/10 (2 March 2010)

This movie touted itself as "something of which you've never seen the likes of" however the story was COMPLETELY predictable. This wasn't the worst movie in the world but in comparison to its accolades, it's getting there.
The movie has beat out "Up in the Air" and the amazingly original and inventive "Inglorious Basterds" for best picture Golden Globe. How is that reasonable? I could probably guess the whole story upon watching the first 10 minutes. I felt nothing for any of the characters except Sigourney Weaver.
The icing on the cake was when Michelle Rodriguez (the pilot) started shooting and said, "it's me bitch". Why is this type of crass humor required in all movies? This isn't how people speak in life or death situations. This is how people speak in movies.
The only thing very good about the movie was the amount of detail with special effects but this indeed is not what makes a movie. Furthermore the blue people, I forget what they are called were just taller and blue. Like nothing I've ever seen? Almost exactly everything I've ever seen. Two arms, two eyes, two legs, speaking with their mouths.
That "I see you" crap repeated OVER AND OVER. Now, of course they did explain that this was something important and spiritual to the people. If so, they wouldn't say it English so many times because there wouldn't even be a direct translation.
I really wish I was a billionaire so that I could pay some of these people billions to stop making movies like these.
