do not waste your time

Rating: 1/10 (20 June 2007)

No matter how much you like science-fiction, no matter how willing you are to ignore the biggest plot-holes to see a few stupid but expensive-looking action scenes - do not waste neither money nor time by watching this piece of crap. The movie is completely implausible, a fact that is only fortified by the lack of any explanations at all and bad acting, especially of the main character. About ten minutes before the end I was asking myself how they could find a way to end this movie in such a short time. The battle was in full progress, but of course I never questioned that the movie would have a typical Hollywood happy-end. I was right and in fact it took Spielberg not more than the last 30 seconds of the movie to bring a 180 degree turn into the story. And let me tell you, there is no way of thinking of it as an expression of his skills as an experienced director. -God, in his great wisdom has created bacteria to guarantee that only mankind has the possibility to spread on planet earth, because mankind is the only life-form worthy of living here- When I hear something so ridiculous at the end of a 2h movie, it not only makes me angry, I also feel cheated. Maybe it helps, if you believe in the dinosaur-fossils being buried a few thousand years ago or the great spacecraft rescuing you at the end of days. Maybe than you can enjoy watching this movie. Maybe. If you do not, you better stay away.
