If I hadn't been with my wife I would've walked out. Nothing redeemable about it. I knew it was going to be bad, but wasn't expecting for it to be as horrible as it was. The twist in third act is one of the worst I've ever seen a movie to the point we bursted out laughing at how stupid it was. This is by far a career low for Roland Emmrich..
shareI went knowing it was bad because I had an open a-list reservation and because I like to see moon stuff depicted on the big screen.
But the pile of stupid stuff just kept getting bigger and bigger.
One of my favorite stupid moments was towards the end when Brian's son goes back to find Michael Peña's character (dumb move in itself) and then the nanny goes off to look for Brian (another dumb move). And then she finds him... UNDER A TREE. Of course the tree apparently didn't crush him or even injury him in the slightest. And then thankfully the moonrise allowed them to toss off the tree.
I laughed more than once, so it was worth my time.
