An insult to any intelligent viewer

Rating: 1/10 (8 July 2012)

I have to chuckle at the fact that this movie is getting an 8.1 average rating. I suppose these are the same literal fanboys who consider "Inception" a masterpiece because it was directed by the same person who made "The Dark Knight". Same people who like television shows like "Firefly".
This is essentially "Sex and the City" for guys.
Another viewer said this film wears its politics lightly. I wonder if I watched the same movie. More likely, the other viewer is just not very discerning, and loves anything with spaceships in it. The fact is, the symbolism couldn't be more obtuse if it hit the viewer over the head with a brick. It is obvious to point of being contrived. (I mean, it takes place in South Africa. How much more obvious can it get?)
This is a good example of a new breed of film tailored to the dumbed down viewer. It's a lame, campy sci-fi movie disguised as a film with a socially redeeming message. Don't waste your time.
