Senseless waste of time

Rating: 3/10 (1 July 2012)

What a completely mindless waste of time. The movie makes no serious attempt at finding a plot. Character development is completely nonexistent. Clearly stole ideas from previous sci-fi hits. Aliens was a great movie, but you can't just copy and paste scenes from Aliens, add modern-day special effects, and expect that somewhere in there a plot will evolve on its own.
I'm the type of person that would actually rate a movie like Armageddon a '7.5' because it was at least a lot of fun to watch if you just suspended reality a little bit. This movie, however, I can't rate better than a '3'.
I should've known there was a problem my friends and I entered the theater (a major theatre in Boston, on a Friday night, only two weeks after this movie first came out), and it was less than 5% full. We were all greatly disappointed by this movie.
