you guys are all dumb. this movie was awesome! (*some spoilers*)


I mean come on. This movie was a sci-fi wetdream. It had evil aliens looking all badass wit dem sik dreadlocks, *beep* dialogs, *beep* special effects that took themselves for serious aaand american film clichés like the last Americans taking their ancestors'(today's USA) gold in Fort Knox to trick the alien invador or the Denver *beep* Library being the place where one can find "everything you humans knew" and where Jonnie Goodboy Tyler (that name alone is why this movie is so awesome) gets to read the Declaration of Indipendence. Damn.

In this magnicifent specimen of film making and storytelling, humans break every natural limit to regain their planet - I mean for *beep*'s sake, these guys don't know how to read and are ready for a plane combat in the *beep* city after just a few hours on the simulator... - and there's sacrifices too, made by true heros of the proud last decendants of the human race for the surviving of the species. True selfless brave bastards that looked at death right in the eyes and dismissed him as a "piece of cake".

It also didn't pay any respect to logic witch was also super. An alien invasion and a thousand years later, and still the buildings are still standing, the guns are working fine and the combat planes are ready for take-off. Or the scene where Jonnie Goodboy - the Neandertal alumni - runs facing maybe 5 aliens and they're shooting at him for like 20 seconds easy, and they're the *beep* masters of the universe, they don't joke, they some tough *beep* but they aaaaall miss.

And don't get me started on the bad acting....

Anyway, in the end, I believe this movie is really a sci-fi comedy. And if it wasn't meant as one, even better, it makes it more innoscent. That's why I give it

10/10
