Great movie; perhaps the best for 2009

Rating: 10/10 (21 August 2009)

First we had movies like Terminator Judgment Day and Transformers and now G.I. Joe which personally didn't satisfy my pallet along with a few others not worth mentioning but this movie has it all, weapons, humor, violence, and the human monster which is a good wake up call that is much needed in the sense of noticing the similarities to what's going on in the current state of affairs with Terrorist propaganda. One thing that really got out to me was how big brother's eye in the sky was always there throughout the whole movie. It's touching in the sense of showing how people can change under extreme circumstances with the choice to do what's right before they fall completely out of grace. The only thing that I didn't like which could be considered as a major plot hole is how these 'prawns' where unable (or unwilling) to use their own weaponry and the reasons for this was not explained at all. But nevertheless, the effects were great and the story was original. It made me aware of certain things and that's a good thing. Go see this when you can.
