wow this was bad (and way way way worse in the last 30 minutes)

Rating: 1/10 (4 August 2009)

okay, let's just note that given the alien dudes were protecting the kids the whole time, it literally didn't matter at all if nic cage or anyone else did anything. it all would have ended all right for the kids and exactly the same way for anyone else no matter what he did for the entire two hours. so even if you were tricked into caring whether he solved the numbers, it didn't matter. anyway, this film is useful in that anyone who thinks it is clever, unique, thought provoking or anything else that could be positive as stated in some of these reviews can be accurately assumed with no further evidence to be of well below average intelligence (although if they don't speak any English and watched this without subtitles, perhaps that is not as reliable as an indicator).
