Me and my friends chose to watch this movie quite spontaneously. We had no idea what this movie is all about yet we were desperate to watch a movie so we opted for this. Didn't realize it's a sci-fi movie.
Anyways, I'm not gonna make a thorough review on this movie. Mainly because it's kinda forgettable to me. The plot is not really that brilliant. The script, the dialogue and many parts of the movie are pretty predictable. For instance, when the President's daughter was hiding beneath the table, I just knew that psycho prisoner would suddenly appear, combined with shocking BGM. Which was why I wisely lowered my head, knowing what will about to come. Another typical scene is during the ending where the real culprit is finally revealed. I'm not gonna spoil on how the scene went, but let's just say, if you have a good eye and noticed the discreet but quite obvious hints, you'll know who is really the bad guy. Honestly though, I think the audience would be able to figure it out halfway through the movie anyway.
Another scene which I most certainly must complain about is when the two main characters fell from the err... prison? They were dropping at an accelerating rate, which, in reality, would have burned these two to death since they fell from the frigging outer space onto Earth. YET!!! They arrived on Earth really fast!!!! And they conveniently fell onto one random road of the United States of America, where the authorities were all already there waiting. This is just my major complaint. The rest of the movie was ok. Some of Snow's (the main character played by Guy Pearce) comments were pretty smart and funny. I love sarcasm.
I would rate this movie a 5 out of 10. Not a movie I really liked, compared to Battleship, but not something I hate as well. It was just ok. Nothing special.
