Good topics - bad movie

Rating: 3/10 (25 May 2001)

After turning off my DVD I was kind of wondering what kind of movie it was. Was it intended to be a comedy, parody, action or sci-fi ? I realized it was an action sci-fi that makes rational people laugh. The movie is swamped by plot holes, stereotypical characters and factual errors. I like the idea of disabling the alien's computers by a computer virus, that was created without any research and uploaded to the mother ship via unknown interfaces. Who's gonna buy such a rubbish ? The creators absolutely ignored the gravity effects of such a huge ship residing at the orbit. An exclusive use of F-18's by earth defenders and their incredible (impossible) maneuverability is just one more example. On the other hand 3D effects were really nicely done and the scenes of alien space ships overshadowing the U.S cities were pretty impressive.
