I think the guys were a little too hard on this one. It's not a great movie by any standards, but It was entertaining at parts, and it never pissed me off. The ending also came as a surprise. All in all, I give it a Matinee. BTW Leon, they used SONAR to map the battle grid, not radar, and it's not impossible to send a message into deep space. Like light, radio frequencies travel deep into space and don't stop until they're completely absorbed.
This might have worked if the aliens had crashed during World war I or World War II with a damaged ship, meaning that most of their major weaponry is offline. This would explain why the targeting would have had the most basic radar and why they might end up using a grid pattern. If the battles also took place during a storm then then crew could use that as an excuse to why their ships sank, if they thought that the government wouldn't believe them with no proof and when they come to shore with a damaged ship.
10 years old! it's actually not terrible a hell of a fun time of another Hasbro adaptation it resembles the board game in several ways the action and the special effects rock hard, even some comedy in here lightens up the tension characters on the other hand spend too much time apart even for the main leads, no emotional ressonace is present and I don't think they develop one bit I didn't really like Rihanna as much as I wanted to; she's a singer, not an actress the plotholes start popping up occasionally as well but the movie isn't God awful, for a summer popcorn movie it delievers relatively well like "G.I. Joe" and "Transformers" the little kids or the one inside you as an older viewer might have a blast some people might accuse Peter Berg ripping off of Michael Bay but rest assured this is more intelligent just don't go in expecting a miracle of a movie, it is based on a famous board game after all Nostalgia Critic was less than impressed: “The movie feels phoned-in on almost every level. Even with the massive budget, the film looks and sounds like it was directed by (image of...) the Chart Guys, going off notes of what worked in the past, rather than telling a story they always wanted to tell. The characters are lame, the story's uninspired, and with the exception of those Terminator Langoliers, even the action's pretty dull.”
Dunno. I'm gay but I don't really. find Micheal's films to be homophobic. I find them more to be just dumb explosions fests which is... fine I mean sometimes all you really want to watch is that. But his gay jokes don't really offend me. Mostly because I'm thick skinned. The only people that get offended by them are those uncomfortable with their sexuality in my opinion.
This movie makes me ashamed to be a member of the navy lol..
Even though Liam Neeson is in it for 5 mins he is still the best actor in the movie
There IS a movie featuring aPaper towel mascot called Foodfight.
In a way, they predicted Ouija hahaha.
