SkylineSo I went to a late showing with my friends (I told them how bad the reviews and directors were, but we ultimately decided to see it as a comedy
), and wow, this movie was.. something.
It was without a doubt one of the funniest movies I've seen all year, and I found myself able to laugh at it in a way that I couldn't with AvP:R (since it was essentially putting one of my favorite franchises down with a medieval flail), and I had a shitload of fun. But this movie as it was intended to be? Infuriating. Absolutely infuriating that something like this could even be funded and shown to people expecting something good (there certainly were some of those in the theater
). The acting? Hilariously horrible. I find that David Zayas (Sergeant Batista from
Dexter) was only there on the hiatus of Dexter and was just doing it for some easy money, where as he puts his all into his performance in Dexter. I applauded his choice; you can tell that he and his co-stars knew how shitty the movie they were participating in the production of was.
The special effects of the trailer are also a gimmick. When you are actually exposed to them for an extended duration of time, they look awkward and unnatural when interacting with live action objects. Get Roger Rabbit in there to show those aliens what the f**k's up. Some of them even appear stiff- disturbingly so. Also, the f**king camerawork almost made me throw up! It seemed like it was completely shot with a small step up from a handheld camera while going for a cinematic vibe. HOW DO YOU EVEN-
You know, writing this makes me want to scream (I'm okay, I'm okay!) just thinking about it. How the cast goes is essentially:
-Scrawny white-guy as the unlikely hero
-Heavy-set Hispanic guy as the self-righteous dick
-Token black guy as the stereotypical.. token black guy endlessly spewing gag-inducing one-liners
-Hot chick as hot chick
-Another hot chick as a hot chick.
*Throws up*
Kill this movie with fire, don't see it, don't support the Strausses- don't even see it as a comedy as I did. Hold out on your invasion film fix for
Battle: Los Angeles. My stomach hurts, I need a garbage can. Nail this film to the cross and pray no more comes from "The Brothers"
Spoiler
0/10 - A shit on the cinematic arts.
