Aliens... again

Rating: 2/10 (24 November 2011)

Seriously? This is the best Spielberg and Abrams could pull off together? Yes, the beginning of the movie is a lot of fun, you wonder what the thing is, what's going on, etc., etc. But about 3/4 of the way through it's revealed that it is... again... a stupid alien. Don't get me wrong, I like alien movies. But come on! If you're going to make yet another alien movie in your long line of alien movies at least come up with something original. Tell me if you've heard this one: alien crash lands on earth, alien is held against his will by the evil military people, alien longs to go home, and in the end he does. Only, in this movie he does it with no fanfare, no climax, just him climbing in some ship and taking off. Guys, it's bad. It's a bad movie. And the fact that people have given this thing 7 stars is really, really sad. I guess I shouldn't be surprised in a society that gets wet from watching American Idol for the 1000th time. Oh yeah, one other thing, in this movie the alien is really p***ed off - wow, that's really unique. Don't waste your time and money, or if you have to, wait til it comes to Netflix so you don't feel like you were ripped off.
