Wow, this only confirms my previous thoughts about this movie. Watched the first trailer back in september, had the whole steven hawking intro etc. and the stupid "don't look up" line. Course you mustn't, because if you don't you'll be sucked in by some giant vacuum cleaner from space.
And it just got better.
To satisfy the numbness of the general audience (and probably borderline creativity but cash in the eyes) they come up with giant space monsters. (Do they operate those ships? Are there smaller monsters or so in the fighters? What are the odds! We must be able to identify ourselves with the alien invaders so everything must work the same way! Especially giant vacuum cleaners, with all the stardust laying around...)
Because hey, who doesn't like to see giant space monsters invading ur cities and smashing everything to bits and pieces! Cash register Ka-CHING!!!!
Edit: Didn't even notice those smaller aliens. But whatever...
Oh it just looks incredibly retarded. Ok, the special effects are nifty but I'm tired of movies like this. All CGI, boring story, flat acting and cardboard characters.
I'll gladly skip this crap.
And yeah, it does lend stuff from ID4.
