This entertaining sci-fi popcorn flick which borrows the element of ID4, Gears of War, a little bit of War of the Worlds, Cloverfield and some Crysis 2. In short, It feels like watching a gorgeous video game cutscene.
The Story:
So the story starts of a dude and his girlfriend coming over to LA to meet his best buddy, who is filthy rich, the beginning kinda like Cloverfield, with some simple character story. So then they saw some light, the light pull those people in, and then some crazy stuff happens with lots of nice CGI effects. Then it looks like War of the World, Cloverfield and then it looks like Star Wars, and then later it looks like Independance Day (ID4) with some Call of Duty in it. After all that, it comes to copy District 9. But in the end this movie is not like those ID4/War of the Worlds (Thank God, no computer virus or the Earth's air kind of stuff), coz you'd be surprised. It kinda reminded me of Gears of War's Locust backstory, and the Crysis 2 CGI trailer.
The Effects:
Damn good CGI. from the main ship to the Matrix-like squid. Dogfights look reminded me of Star Wars/Independence Day.
The Sound:
Not bad, lots of loud explosion and screaming and yelling and clicking sound.
The Verdict:
2.5/5Actually I already spoiled a lot, but I use movie/game name as metaphor, if you don't know stuff like Gears of War or Crysis, then better stay this way, enjoy the movie.
