Close Encounters Meets Plan 9 From Outer Space

Rating: 2/10 (15 August 2009)

If you want to enjoy this movie, keep the sound off, fast forward through most of it and just enjoy a few scenes with some very good special effects.
The script is awful, Cage has a bad wig and sleep walks through the movie, and the End of the World thing just never works in Hollywoodland.
The theme of the film is that "nothing is random, we exist because some aliens may have put us here and look after us, and when the Sun blows a gasket and ends our existence, some cool taxis from the stars will take some deserving white kids to another galaxy and let us start again, so don't worry!!!!! It's all good!!!!!"
Someone should have found "The Origin of Superman" and realized that the gig is 70 years old and the Nick Cage character was known then as Jor-El, and rather than aliens take his kid, put him in a rocket to Earth. Wait, wasn't Cage long rumored to play Superman in a reboot??? Guess this was his revenge.
Can you picture some real-life "Ari Gold" pitching this thing?? "Hey, think of it! End of the world, special effects of a plane crash and a New York subway gone to Hell, Telepathy, Angels from another world, New Eden, God and the Hereafter! And..... we got Nick Cage!!!!!!"
Skip it.
