Nothing at all

Rating: 1/10 (29 May 2007)

worst movie i watched for years ... maybe worst ever ... the story is an insult for anyone with a brain (no logic, no ideas, nothing ...) , the aliens looked like in a b-movie from the 60ies ... the whole movie is based on intimidating music, which starts to be funny after the first 2-3 mins ... do not watch it
so aliens who have a water allergy come to earth to get fresh slaves or food or whatever they intend to do with the humans they get:

they have spaceships but no spacesuits or even raincoats - they can't open doors

they can jump from the top of a house on a swing and then in a maize field without problems but a normal guy with a baseball bat can beat the hell out of them

the spaceships are invisible and can't be shot down and a toy phone can intercept their communication

they are naked (what was the atmospheric humidity on earth?) and don't seem to use tools at all

they navigate the earth by making strange signs in the maize fields ... yep, so what are they doing when there is no maize ... how do they navigate the universe? what about the water drops which condensate on the maize each morning?

the American gun maniacs do not form local militias to protect themselves ...

the main character doesn't get a useful weapon, just goes hiding - he even doesn't care to take his beloved dog with him ... lets him die (very Christian)

the first rain makes this highly developed species (space travel is something we will not manage soon) run as hell

... a lot more of this, don't have the time

OK, one can say that the movie isn't about aliens at all, but about faith:

so god sends a plague on earth, lets a lot of people die just to show the way to this one person ... what about the others? wouldn't it be better to choose a way to show him the way without many people dying in the process? remember, this isn't the old testament god ... this is the new and improved model with love integrated ...

what do you believe would happen after a failed alien attack ... what politic will the earth follow after this? a peaceful one? or one in which we get even more arms and get even more paranoid? will we enjoy more or less democracy? gods plan?

since god created everything he created the aliens also ... he doesn't seem to love them ... OK, granted, he doesn't seem to love us too, but they aren't even mentioned in the bible ;)

just imagine we were those aliens ... would we give up after the first failure? watch our history! we would come back stronger and with more troops. why do you believe would a species which was persistent enough to develop space travel give up that easy? or will we see a second part soon?

and to see everything from an economic view:

how expensive would you think space travel is in relation to several humans? - if it is still economically OK to do this, wouldn't you as a developed species plan the whole undertaking carefully?

could you possibly land on some less populated and badly protected point, and maybe not that wet? a desert maybe, where you could get several tribes without anybody noticing for years?

i would be ready to bet you could go to any politician on any place on earth and he would sell you a lot of people just for a fragment of your knowledge (for example a lot of the American slaves were not catched by Americans but were sold by other African tribes to the Americans) or maybe just as a token of good will, or just to bribe you to go catch slaves somewhere else next time ...

maybe your genetic engineering should be as developed at that point as your space travel and you should be able to create your slaves/food yourself? by the way, you shouldn't be able to eat humans, they consist of water for a great part

of course your ships are invincible and you surely have some weapons too ... so what about the people on earth paying you a tribute so that you don't blow the earth to pieces?
