Good action flick originality blurred

Rating: 8/10 (17 April 2013)

OK so there are some points like why would an alien race pick on earth when frankly they could pick up everything from uninhabited planets and not have to tangle with 7 or 8 billion earthlings.
with that aside here are my thoughts:
I had low expectations so i was pleasantly surprised
good action flick mission impossible with a load of lasers thrown in, combine with ijetplane and idrone and voila nice shiny tech
it answers most of the viewers questions by the end
it does poach a few ideas from other films like moon and the twist is preeety predictable by all accounts, but maybe this is just how my mind works.
I enjoyed it for what it was and frankly you should too
my popcorn and I were an effective team.
tldr: action flick, alien twist, big names & ticks boxes
