Gibson is always great...too bad his picture is a pretentious mess

Rating: 2/10 (1 November 2014)

Special effects and a decently maintained sense of impending doom aside, this is a bad film, full of every "inspiration" culled from every TV showing of the THE BIRDS, THE WIZARD OF OZ, whatever.
science fiction can be terrific but it still has to make SOME non-fiction sense: the lead ET travels how many galaxies to learn that the Earth is made up of 80% water...the one element which can doom him/her/it. yeah, and he travels several 100 light years but can't find his way out of Gibson's broom closet.
NO SPOILER HERE, but I'll mention that my lower jaw plummeted when Gibson wakes up refreshed "the day after"...there's about 39 people left on the planet...but he has seen the light: need lemons if ya want lemonade. please.
