It could of been better.

Rating: 5/10 (2 February 2014)

I love Sci-Fi films because it allows the writers and film makers creative juices to over flow. But with this film I was disappointed, not having read the book I take it from others who have commented that the film has not done it any favours? You have seen this film before with the gruff sergeant major giving the new trainees a hard time, the trainees jogging and chanting together etc etc, the sergeant major who will not salute the raw recruit, but the raw recruit comes through and makes it to become a officer the then said sergeant salutes the new officer, (you can almost hear the American national anthem in the background) Oh pleaseeeeeeeee.
Then you have this advanced alien race who look like ants? how they have managed to become advanced and build space craft etc is baffling.
Any way the basics is that the human race's chances to survive come down to the teenager with anger management issues wiping out another race of creatures, does it matter if it was a simulation or otherwise? there's obviously a deep thinking issue here.
I was surprised to see Mr Ford in this film, I can only assume that job offers were thin on the ground when he was asked to star in this film, I think that this could of been a much better film, it's certainly not the worst I've seen but there are better sci-fi films out there.
