And it&#8217;s through a list.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">1. The lighting is incredibly amateur with darkness where it should be light, and light where is should be dark. It seems a monkey lit the entire movie and most of the time the director doesn&#8217;t know how to set the mood.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\"><!--more-->2. The camera angles are disgusting and really really bad, we are subjected to this a lot.<\/p>\n<p>3. The dialogue is horrible, amateur and very very dull.<\/p>\n<p>4. Often in a movie we get camera cuts, fade-ins, fade-outs, and pans. But no, we get the same annoying camera fade over and over and over. This drove me really crazy.<\/p>\n<p>5. The sound is horrible as well, we get a lot of silence with inappropriate moments and action scenes.<\/p>\n<p>6. A doozy is the acting. Sheesh. We have a humongous star Like John Travolta who pulls in a badly acted and a w-a-a-a-y over the top performance as the main villain. It&#8217;s incredible how badly he acts in this one. We have Barry Pepper who overacts at times and under-acts. His character is unlikable, obnoxious, and at times when he tries to be heroic is just plain annoying. Then we have Forest Whitaker who is grossly under-acted and underused. What really agitates me is he stars in a movie that is below his acting. Advice to Whitaker, star in better movies.<\/p>\n<p>7. We get poorly coordinated and sloppy stunts that seem like an old lady choreographed them.<\/p>\n<p>8. The make-up effects for the aliens are horrible, amateur, and sloppy. They&#8217;re supposed to be humongous and tall but we can clearly see they&#8217;re walking in stilts (and not well).<\/p>\n<p>9. The whole movie seemed like legends and excerpts from the &#8216;Scientology&#8217; bible. We get symbols and lines from what seemed like theories from scientology. It seemed like the sci-fi masked that.<\/p>\n<p>10. This is the final and most agitating aspect of the movie. It was almost two hours! So in conclusion, this is one of the worst movies I have ever seen since, &#8220;Car 54, Where are you? The Mod Squad, and Water World.&#8221; So help me god if another one of these is made I&#8217;m officially going to blow up the production company that made this. Travolta stay away from sci-fi forever.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">One of the most putrid god-awful movies I have ever seen. Lo and behold, this is a true piece of tripe and Travolta plans on making more. Those damn Scientologists! Damn you, Travolta and Cruise!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#8217;s really only one way to summarize my sheer hatred for what is possibly one of the worst movies I&#8217;ve ever seen.
