One of the most overrated movies of ALL time!

Rating: 3/10 (3 August 2013)

I have NEVER written a review yet on here but since Neil Blomkamp's new movie is coming out and I have read more comments about how "good" this one was I felt the need to say something.
I enjoy SCI-FI very much and I like action and I also like slower story based movies that make you think but this was neither. I am still to this day trying to figure out why people loved this movie. The first 20 minutes was like watching a boring documentary. I am not going to get into any details on the movie but it was a complete and utter bore fest. Every trailer portrayed this as a cool looking action packed SCI-FI thriller but when you watch it, the movie is completely different. The story was incredibly boring and extremely slow paced. Nothing happens until the last 15 minutes and even then the action is still pretty boring.
The ONLY thing the movie did good was the artistic design of the weapons and tech used by the aliens etc. Other than that I HATED it. I almost walked out and I wish I did. Saw this with a big group and not one of them liked it at all. This is my opinion but this was a brutal movie to me, I haven't felt this let down by a movie in a LONG time. I was very excited to see this one but I left extremely disappointed by the boring plot and lack of action.
I would avoid watching this if you think you are interesting in action packed SCI-FI movies.
