Awful

Rating: Null/10 (21 February 2008)

This is one of the worst "blockbusters" I've ever had the misfortune to see. The movie was so awful, I kept thinking "we should just walk out" but convinced myself it would get better but it never did. I almost have it bonus points because I laughed out loud a few times but I don't think they should get a higher score just because the movie was so bad it was unintentionally funny.
Will Smith wasn't too bad but the plot was terrible. They send up a drunken crop duster who was once kidnapped by aliens to fight them in a jet plane? Really? An alcoholic? The PRESIDENT goes up in a jet fighter to fight the aliens, and beats them? Yes, because that would ever happen. My favorite part was where every other country in the world was just sitting around waiting to die until the Americans finally figure out how and then send them all Morse code signals. Otherwise they'd just have no idea what to do other than sit in their tents and wait to be killed or starve.
But the effects were good.
