Why oh Why!

Rating: 3/10 (15 August 2009)

Reading all the rave reviews, I thought, maybe this is it...This is going to be the film that I've been waiting for a long time. With all the crap Science Fiction films that have been coming out in recent years, I have been waiting a long time for some good cinema and this seemed to have it all. I really didn't know what to expect, and then within the first 10 minutes of the film, I knew this one was going to hit me like a truck with a lot of crap. First off, I felt like I was watching some kinda Geico TV Commercial, I think it has to do with the acting, script/humor, and parts of the visual effects. I didn't feel like I was watching a movie for some reason. Second thing that really turned me off was why the hell did the fuel for the alien ship turn the protagonist into an Alien? It didn't make any freak'n sense why the Aliens were handing their weapons to the humans for cat food when they could have destroyed the human race. Also the alien and humans were communicating way too easily (But this is excusable). The African gangsters are dumbed down, and they really think they can become aliens by eating them? All the characters were one dimensional and the action had no suspense. It was funny occasionally to see people getting blown up, but I was never excited at one point of the film. Im really hoping Avatar will blow this fish off the sea because it was a complete waist of time and money.
