What were they thinking?

Rating: 1/10 (10 December 2009)

Starts out OK - but enough already with little girl characters being freaky a la 'Ring'. This tries to be too many films and doesn't accomplish anything in the end except making you want to go back in time and wish you hadn't wasted an hour and change watching it. Seriously, why do the Billy Idol overlords bother with the numerical list of disasters at all? It doesn't make a difference in the end as all of humanity gets barbecued - but we're supposed to feel OK about it as some kids are abducted and thrown onto planet LSD....to what? repopulate? There was no decent progression of the fatalism vs. determinism argument raised early in the film - very disappointed. At least Cage got to drink massively (clearly a contractual obligation for any role he takes on)
