I had very low hopes for this film going in, so when I walked out of the theater with anger and disappointed, I wasn't the least bit surprised. I will give the film some credit, up to the first alien attack, I was throughly entertained and thought it was a pretty awesome flick. Then, the film fell into the Michael Bay school of filmmaking, full of convenient situations and last second saves by random characters. Not to mention the entire Olivia Wilde character was there for nothing more than to add a pile of convenient safety to a group of cliche characters. Sure, Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford were both excellent in their specific roles, and Sam Rockwell played an excellent bartender, but the acting alone can not save this film!
It's a rental, and a bad one at that.
