The other comments on here are so obviously shills as to be shameless.
This is so hackneyed as to make you wonder just how many suits were in on the screen writing because it's pretty obvious there were no actual screenwriters AND if by some horrible chance this is how professional screenwriters write...then no wonder we have such terrible movies.
Besides, didn't we see this in the 80's as "V"? No one can hit the side of a barn? I think one of the worst qualities of any movie are some of the following and this piece of dreck managed to have them all.
Girl falls down. Oh jeez how many more times do we have to put up with that garbage????? Americans have no problem with shooting their own people? Sorry not believable. We are not like that. AND we just give over hundreds of thousands to be killed? For what exactly???? The girl knows she is special yet says nothing until she is captured??????? WTF? 650,000 from prisons? Why stop there? We have over TWO MILLION prisoners. Not saying that is right either, I'm just saying why did the government spare the other million and a half and go after actually innocent people. (I will grant you that under a 1997 DOJ study, there are about 3 percent of the prison population is innocent)
The whole firefight in the forest made no sense. None. We are never told how they managed to figure out EXACTLY WHERE THEY WOULD BE? Even with a snitch, how would they know exactly where they were? Helloooo?
Plus NONE of the firefights make any sense. Just stand up where everyone can see you? Make no attempt at blockage? NONE? Then when the aliens come through the door, NO ONE CAN HIT THEM???? Helloooooo?!?!?You are aiming at a target area 6 feet wide and you can't hit a single alien and you have a half a dozen guns shooting at that same target?
This is why movies like this tank. They are just plain stupid and the directors and writers treat their audiences as though they are equally stupid.
ANd let me get this straight. The daddy just pushes the bad guy out of the way and then turns his back on him??? How bad can this get??? What is this further dreck of letting bad guys go away? These people kill left and right, yet when the drop is on them, the good guys just let them go or turn their back on them YET AGAIN??? One of the great failings of movies like this is the inability of the writers to make us believe that how we got from A to B to C to D makes sense and unfortunately movies of this low caliber seem to expect us to believe we got from A to D to M without any rhyme or reason.
The scriptwriting is just so poor. I have a 13 year old niece who was watching this and she said no one talks like this or acts like this and then said she could have written a better script. And ya know what? I believe her..
And where did the romantic crud come from? That 70's ending of everyone hugging and kissing is just such...well so 70's. And so was this whole movie.
Just terrible.
