Not a great Sci-fi movie or I'm getting old!

Rating: 4/10 (29 August 2009)

I went to the movie to be entertained. However came out quite irritated.
Irritation was due to the fact that movie seemed very ignorant, as it tried to be somewhat intellectual? I have studied African matters in great extent, and I found that the movie was just playing on the stereotypes from there. Like the Nigerians, who are blamed for everything in South Africa (even though most migrants are not even from Nigeria). There are hundreds of big crime syndicates in South Africa that are very violent, but they are not all Nigerian.
Then what I found irritating was the fact these beings were altruistic? So human, even when they come from a completely different planet. I like real movies, but this was made for ignorant people playing on their stereotypical thinking, and little added glory and goodness for the viewer... happy endings make better bucks I read from a Hollywood marketing book.
I just found the fact that movies that simulate suffering, and displacement of people due to conflicts and hunger are the only ways that people can somewhat even see the real problems. This movie is testimony to the ignorance of the general public on almost all matters... reality is so terrible that people cannot face that. It could also be that I'm getting old, and too aware of reality.
1 point for good looking RED ONE material 2 points for good Violence 1 point for good CGI + lots of tracking
