Better ways to waste 2 odd hours of your life

Rating: 1/10 (15 November 2013)

Saw the 6.9 score on IMDb and settled down for a good sci-fi evening. The movie started with some Spanish dialog which changed to English but might just as well continued in Swahili for all the sense it made. The story painfully crawled along at a drunk snail's pace with about the same sense of direction. The plot was notable in its absence and any shreds of a narrative were dull, boring and predictable. I just wonder how the maker of District 9 could come up with this drivel and how Matt Damon would sign up for it! Go to sleep, meditate, watch traffic or train a cockroach instead and spare yourself the torture of sitting through what seems to be 4 hours but is actually 109 minutes.
