It's okay. Has very little to do with the game, but I guess a serious navel war film wouldn't appeal to kids. |

I saw part of this at the drive-in before deciding to watch whatever was on the other screen. It wasn't terrible, but it didn't really feel necessary. I just decided that I would have as good of a time watching The Avengers again. |

Overall, this one is very specific about what it's good parts and bad parts are since this is decidedly one-minded all the way through. The film when it concentrates on the high-octane battles at sea and air provide this with some utterly thrilling and utterly exciting action scenes where the relentless blasts, frantic machine-gun battles and highly-impressive technological battles that occur throughout here become just an unmitigated blast that produces plenty of explosion-packed spectacle, high-energy contests and a recklessness in the final half that becomes all the more fun watching all the destruction and carnage unfold. The finale in Hawaii is almost enough to help this overcome the rest of the film, which is just one big floating pile of cliche after cliche that really makes this seem a lot stupider than it really should. The manner of introducing the namesake-game here is utterly gimmicky and doesn't really need to be, but all that does is highlight the rest of the flaws in the story here. From the hackneyed love story, the putrid attempts at displaying heroism in the face of futile odds and the last-ditch attempt with even more obsolete technology that saves the day when the better, more advanced tactics failed are just some of the more mind-numbing scenarios set up here to try to get this going and it never really manages to overcome those odds. Tack on ridiculous CGI, an utterly moronic reasoning for attacking Earth and baseless science and it really does more harm than good, enough though there's some good stuff here and there. |

Do illiterate people get the full effect of alphabet soup? Some people are like slinkies: not good for anything, but you can't help but laugh when one falls down the stairs. My review blog: http://donshorrormovieblog.blogspot.com/ | |
