Dumb but fun

Rating: 6/10 (13 September 2007)

The premise would have been utterly ridiculed if it weren't for the fact that it already exists as a fixture in pop culture.
Yes, the premise is silly, but what saves the film is the performances and humor, most notably from Shia LaBeouf.
The special effects are also top notch, quite possible the best f the year.
If you go in expecting little, you'll be satisfied. Deep drama this is not.
Not a great fim, but at least a fun one. So turn down your IQ dial, and sit back and enjoy a good two hours crass Michael Bay sci-fi excess!
