Cost ten times District 9 but 10 times worse

Rating: 5/10 (22 August 2013)

The special effects are the only thing about this movie which are even vaguely impressive which is a shame given the budget and a cast including Matt Damon and Jodie Foster.
There are many excellent science-fiction writers but the script-writer is not one of them. Totally implausible plot which just got more ridiculous and puerile as it went on.
Do the baddies always have to be white south-African now?
And even though the space station special effects are good surely we have had enough post-apocalypse urban land sprawls by now to be well and truly bored with them.
The most surprising thing to me personally was that I disregarded the poor reviews of others and actually paid to watch this.
