Makes Me Wonder If All Originality Is Gone

Rating: 5/10 (10 July 2014)

This isn't a bad film at all. Action-packed, a bit humorous, good acting, nice special effects, etc., etc., etc. But when you boil it all down, it's Terminator vs. Predator vs. Groundhog Day. I just don't understand what's going on in Hollywood... It's like all the screenwriters are dredging up movies they remembered when they were little kids and slapping them all together hoping somebody will think they're original. Groundhog Day's been done. Yeah, it was a comedy, but that doesn't mean you can lift the plot and stick it into a Sci-Fi Action blockbuster. Terminator's been done--and so has Alien (and wait until you see the enemy and then tell me they're not "Predator" clones). There's such a thing as homage and there's such a thing as outright theft in bad taste. You'll have to make the judgment on this one yourself.
