When this movie first trailer came out it make everyone excited about it, including me (maybe also add to how bad Skyline was, people really wanted to wipe out bad taste in their mouth with this one.) Plus it got that guy - Aaron Eckhart in it and he is a pretty decent actor too. With so much hope it all crash us down when the story didn't even live up to the movie at all and in the end it fail quite badly.
Synopsis: Follow the lives of the group of US Marines as they struggle to save people and fight with the alien invasion.
I got the feeling they try to imitate something like ID4. But it ain't anything close – a lot is missing. The story was loose; there are no connection with character and its viewer, everything seems very cliché and in the end I didn't feel it add anything new in this genre.
The story like "War of the World" this movie was decided to follow the story on the small group of people. Despite they concentrated on small group of people they don't even do it that good. You don't feel for the character at all. The pace is uneven and the dialogue is cheesy and odd. Also many scene that is pointless. But despite all my complained the movie is mildly entertaining.
My other complains was the casting, almost none of them really fit the role. They all look misplace and not even perform that well.
The CGI is OK, nothing really stand out. But I think the sound effect is pretty cool, though not the soundtrack.
Recommendation: Anyway the movie is nothing new and you won't miss anything much if you haven't seen it. But if you still want to watch it don't expect anything much and you might actually find it pretty fun.
Rating: 5/10 (Grade: D)
