My husband has seen it but I don't think I have. I'm continuing to make my way through the disaster movie recommendations you guys gave me. π
Feel free to join in with us or share comments on your thoughts on this movie!
This movie has alotta famous people in it.
shareIn my Top 10 of all time.
shareI wish I had seen it in the theater! I had a newborn baby when it came out so probably not much chance of that happening.
shareI was invited to the premiere. My friend and I took a bottle of vodka in with us. We had front row seats, so it was like we were in the movie. A red carpet, a vodka rush and aliens, what more could you possibly want?
shareThat sounds like quite the memorable experience, and a fun way to do it up right. I had a 4-month-old when it came out so I was probably not fully awake and mostly hoping for sleep on that day. π
shareI liked it a lot for about the first hour.
In the second hour I thought it became ridiculous.
However, having said that, it's still worth watching.
It's always an interesting topic, what if they (and they are out there somewhere - I believe anyway) showed up at our front door? What would we do?????
This movie is a lot better than 2012. π
shareThis is how I feel about the movie:

I like that it's not ALL CGI.
I learned the term "practical effects" from my son within the last week. Now I'm going to pretend I know a lot of things about movies by saying this: I like that it is a mixture of practical effects and CGI.
You are impressed now, aren't you?
Jeff Goldblum does a great job of playing a scientist who knows a lot more than everybody else.
Also, I have a crush on him.
Can't join you on the crush, but yeah, he plays that part just right.
If you want to see interesting Jeff Goldblum work - check out
"The FLy"
Yeah, I need to get that one seen too at some point. I was thinking of his role in Jurassic Park.
shareSInce you like him as you do, you might like that he is much younger in
"THe FLy"
He plays his typical supremely intelligent scientist role just as he does in Jurassic and the one you are watching right now.
The guy was born for this type of role.
ANyway, so concludes exercise for tonight. Have a nice evening 4L!
G'night!
shareThe best part for me is that it looks like they're setting up Cousin Eddie to save the world.
shareWe have finished watching it now. My takeaways:
1.If you want to disarm aliens, use a computer virus. Brainpower can be more effective than blowing things up. Sometimes blowing things up helps too.
2. Were those salt flats? I want to visit a salt flat.
3. Will Smith can fly like those Star Wars pilots.
4. Clark Griswold really should have been nicer to Cousin Eddie.
I would rate this 7/10.
