I'm Rootin' For The Machines!

Rating: 8/10 (17 August 2005)

Alright, I'm going to be honest here. This is a stupid, stupid film. It has plot holes up the yin-yang, and the ending is borderline retarded. But you know what? Watching these awesome, gigantic machines flatten cities and blow crap up was a friggin' blast! Yeah, that's right, I was rooting for the machines and aliens to win. I was hoping the ending would be that they wiped out the earth and the entire human race. Can you blame me? Of course you can't! The special effects are downright jaw-dropping, so I'm glad I saw this thing on the big screen. Tom Cruise plays the same arrogant jerk that he always plays, but this time he's running from machines! Machines with tentacles and cages where they keep their human slaves! Bwa ha ha ha! See it so you can also root against the foolish human mortals.
