Shallow, awful plot, bad acting....but the FX are good!

Rating: 4/10 (5 October 1999)

This is a very disappointing film. If you look behind the great CGI effects, there's no plot, a cliched script, some bad acting, and some incredibly stereotypical characters. Will Smith is good as ever, but even he can't make the awful lines sound much better. The whole film feels like an American PR campaign - it's all about gung-ho Americans defending the earth. OF course, the British guys are all stuck-up posh snobs.
