It came from outer space had a better plot line.

Rating: 5/10 (4 August 2002)

Possible spoilers ahead.
This is a really simple minded 'it came from outerspace' plot. Unfortunately, the 1953 movie, 'It Came From Outerspace' had more realism (hard to believe as bad as it was).
Also the plot has NO --- read that ---- NO correlation with ANY accurate information on crop circles, alien visitations, or the characters of real people. It ONLY reflects the fantasy world of some really, and I mean reeeeeeaaaallly, shallow people who evidentally have sources of funding in Hollywood.
Here are the negative highlights;
[1] Shallow characters freak out in response to alien sightings. I know my share of shallow people and none of them would think the world would end because some aliens are stupid enought to come of all places, ....Earth. A planet ruled by a species who can make such dumb plots and still make a profit.
[2] Hostile aliens with the technology to come here from 'where ever' and decide not to use weapons ( Hostile : A word meaning you probably wouldn't forget a weapon or two when leaving for a 40 million light year journey to earth - the planet of idiots in this plot).
[3] Show some crop circles and forget about any correlation with numerous books on crop circles, aliens, etc. Just pull the concepts out of ... some dark hole somewhere and throw it together.
At least alien sci-fi movies like 'Judgement Day' were entertaining (again, plot pretty shallow - nothing to do with any kind of accuracy with reported aliens, etc).
In summary. The people who came up with Star Trek, the TV series, are eons beyond the amoebas that created this movie. Truly a shallow flick that hopefully will be used to train other directors and producers in how to create retro-grade entertainment. .... 'The movies' have finally come to be as bad as TV.
