Definately just a popcorn flick. At the end of the day, it was pretty generic. Plot was ultimately generic, aliens were neat but generic, action was just ok.
all and all just a barely average movie.
I had two things that really did not work for the movie:
1) ultimately the toxin didn’t matter to the plot. They could have just blown up the ship earlier or just shot up all the aliens. The toxin literally did nothing…and considering how easy it was to find the aliens…research pinpointing their original location would have been much better time spent. Also why the hell was the toxin injected, this would have had to be airborne if it had any actual chance of working.
2) the whole thing at the end where “we can’t contact the world governments they will just bicker”
I might have bought that except you have already spent time convincing me that these are the same world governments that have worked together on a global military draft based on just the word of these time travelers. You can’t have it both ways…the world governments as set up would leap at the chance to blow up the enemy once and for all…and they would make it as Public as possible to stop all the rioting “look everyone we did it…earth is going to be ok get back to your damn lives”
