senseless movie with good visual effects

Rating: 2/10 (21 September 2014)

One would expect that at least few links of the plot to hold, but they are all so thin, that the whole thing falls apart. There are just so many things we have to accept "because of reasons", that there is nothing left to follow from logic. I can buy aliens that for some reason stick to ground, and prefer hand to hand combat, rather than projectiles or explosives, but I cannot figure out why don't the humans use more appropriate military hardware. Did they forget what a tank is? And what of intelligence? I guess we don't need to know our enemy - we just throw more people with guns at them. And apparently the whole command structure consists of one single general who worries about his public image being damaged by undertaking massive offensive against the aliens. I wont even talk about "controlling" time. I give it 2 only for the good visual effects.
