Completely overrated

Rating: 1/10 (17 April 2010)

This movie actually got me to write my first review. The movies current rating is just absurd.
Just read the few other reviews that aren't positive and got completely spammed out.
My biggest problem was the plot though. It has all been mentioned. But just to repeat, after 3 years not touching an alien ship (3 years????) they just drill in? Without looking around outside a bit? Sensors, anything? Then they are inside, get the aliens out, and say, alright kiddos, that is it, let's go? Nobody stays in there to look at the ship? Look at the technology? Anything? Or picture this. A gazillion bad guys shoot with rifles on a heavily armed tank. The tank kills them all slowly one by one. After an eternity, the bad guy decides maybe rifles aren't the smartest thing to use, and decides to take it up one step. Yeah. Take that. You tank. He turns around and orders a sniper to fire precisely into the middle of the armor. Wtf? After that surprisingly doesn't work, and all his gazillion guys are dead, including the sniper, he thinks again. With all the weapons of the world at hand, helis, armored vehicles, and rifles and snipers not working, what to do? So he grasps to his left, pulls up the missile launcher, and shoots the tank. Done. Except, to finish the tank off, he has to shoot the tank one more time with his rifle. Wtf? Except that the tank really was a heavily armored robot.
This movie is ridiculous. What a waste of time. Apparently you can't quite trust IMDb ratings on technology related stuff where nerds just spam the rating. Which is what got me to post.
