Most hilarious part for me.......

... was at the end when scientist man, after showing how intelligent he is for the entire movie, is then given one job to do to kill the baddies, pull the plugs then throw the lever, there's even a little animation that he watches showing what to do, but what does scientist man do? He pulls the plugs and then screams "It's not working!!" and then the woman has to remind him that it was a 2 part process and he still has to throw the lever. What an idiot. I guess they threw it in there for tension but it just made him look like an imbecile.

This just after he made a couple of dozen identical looking highly polished space ray guns out of old cellphones and video equipment.

Hilariously bad ending.

I also liked how at the end there were all those apparitions trapped behind glass in the power plant. I thought they could move through everything except ceramic and iron. Glass stopped them too? LOL! This movie was a massive piece of *beep*

You should probably do a quick google search for "Ceramic Glass"

Nah, I'm good.

funny part for me too.. but for a different reason.

"in case of emergency please do step 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12. note:you better be buffed for this. we made the lever very hard to pull. "

The hilarious part was how the safety maneuver was at the edge of a machine-cliff.

Most hilarious part for me was that the movie is made just to watch it at home on your 16:9 screen, while it has the aspect ratio of a cinema screen. It's never going to be watched in a cinema, so they could just have filmed it in 16:9

[–] NiteOwl94 8 years ago

No it wasn't made to be watched at home. It was originally going to be distributed by Legendary Pictures to theaters, who then pulled out at the last second and Netflix snatched it up. The most hilarious part to me is how you took the time to write your complaint out without even googling the movie first.

Certainly not the one who bothered to post a complaint centered around ignorance of the facts. Pff, why get facts straight before whining?

Also what's missing from the comments is how accurate the team movements were. From tap to move, team splitting, stick movement, not sweeping each other with their weapons, all solid. They deserve credit for being very technical and easy to believe with the SFOD-D part at least. The science is hokey, but the rest of it was rock solid. It reminded me of Transformers, the first sequence where the SF team is fighting in the desert before the AC-130 gunship "brings the rain". That was solid.

I don't get the complaints. This was a solid movie. If they had real bad guys instead of ghosts, it would have been stellar.

Next to the scholarly lecture – how about the ending when she (or both) magically showed up freshly showered as well as with washed hair in all that mess?

[–] Furiouser 8 years ago

What was funny was how they made the lever impossible to pull for anyone. It seems the way he threw himself off with full force full is the only way.

Of course! How else do you get the slow-mo drama shot while falling into a water puddle? They planned for it!

Agreed. He goes from super genius to bumbling idiot at the stroke of a keyboard.

1. When they left the building after met with those two childs to the field hall to wait the chopper, in the streetway there's one scene while the camera was away and not pointed at spectral, that US army can see and shoot spectral with the their guns...
2. The doctor seems fine and not suffer any injuries (even minor injuries) falling from higher place to ground after pull the bracket in lab.. I think it was pretty high, and you can easily broke your feet or arms...

2: He fell into 1 inch of water. Haven't you played half-life? That's more than enough to cushion your fall 😀
