7 stars is just too high for this movie!

Rating: 1/10 (24 August 2014)

I saw this movie based on its rating and both were big mistakes. The only reason I'm doing this review is to knock this movie's rating down a peg. Hopefully I'll save some poor sole the agony and expense of making the same mistake. If the movie industry is using IMDb user ratings to determine what people want to see, that explains why Hollywood is making so many awful movies nowadays.
I'm something of a military buff and a technogeek. The technical flaws in this movie are outstandingly BAD! They must have hired Dianne Feinstein as their technical director. Why did they put smoke flares on the boots of HALO jumpers? Why did they transport nuclear tipped MISSILES by train and boat instead of simply firing the MISSILES? Why did they haul the entire missile instead of just the warhead? Since when did Minuteman Missiles use mechanical detonators the size of a dorm room refrigerator? Military aircraft are shielded against electromagnetic pulses so they can operate near in a nuclear war zone. If a magnetic pulse was strong enough to knock out all of a fighter aircraft's electronics, its highly likely it would have knocked out the ejection seat electronics too! Yet pilots ejected from stricken aircraft.
There was nothing SPECIAL about this movie's special effects. The effects were no better than the campy effects used in the old Japanese Godzilla movies. It looked as if the monsters were people in Halloween suites. By the size of Godzilla's derriere, I thought Godzilla was being played by Roseanne Barr.
