I know, who the hell are you hiring to watch your kids, early childhood development PhDs?   ;D

The sad thing is that no, it doesn't.

It buys more if you get the generic brand.  :laugh2:

Looks like a great action flick, but as with any apocalyptic invasion scenario, the reviews are rarely good.  I do think a bunch of those rotten tomato reviews just like spouting keywords like "cliched" and being part of the majority.  Any idiot who saw any of the previews would have realized this would be heavy on action, light on story.

Well then I'm an idiot. No, seriously, I knew to set my expectations low, but I got bored because I've seen it all before. (That's just what happens when you watch too many movies).

@JaveryH: There's no Starship Troopers cheese. The movie takes itself 100% seriously and it's polished enough to not come off as cheesy.--just nothing new.

THe alien designs were weird. Ships are cool, aliens not. One robot looks exactly inspired by this thing:



It was also incredibly stupid that knocking out a command control ship causes all the drones to just drop out of the sky! You're an advanced alien species, able to traverse space and land on a planet ready to wipe it out of its indigenous life; Do you design your drones to go into standby mode if communications to the central hub go down? Or do you design them to just shut off and let gravity take over?

Vigo:
Alien invasion flicks just don't seem to grab me these days, not unless it looks to add something special to the table. That being said, I could not find one unique quality about this movie from the previews, just looked like the usual re-hash of the usual clichés.

The only alien flick that piqued my interest lately is Cowboys and Aliens.
