Wait? There’s a space/alien element to this movie?

Ben Ramsey May 11

That preview made this look like a comedy, and maybe this won’t be so bad, after all.

Ben Ramsey May 11

That was a very ominous “There,” with the guy pointing in close-up, and then nothing happening immediately after.

Ben Ramsey May 11

We’re only 3 minutes in, and I can already tell the dialog and acting is going to be top notch.

Ben Ramsey May 11

Your co-worker was just incinerated, and you laugh maniacally.

Ben Ramsey May 11

Is that the Millennium Falcon buried into the top of the ship?

Ben Ramsey May 11

I have “Plucky Journalist” on my #MonsterdonBingo, and this guy is anything but.

Ben Ramsey May 11

Okay. This guy might fit the definition of “plucky journalist,” but can a dude be “plucky?”

Ben Ramsey May 11

So, this thing was 50 times the size of T-rex?

So…

It was…

Half a mile long?

Ben Ramsey May 11

Once “Young Gary" gets its breath…

Ben Ramsey May 11

Those guys performed some awesome dance moves before the energy blast took them down.

Ben Ramsey May 11

“Dispose of these bodies and get back to work.”

This guy is a freaking psychopath.

Ben Ramsey May 11

Think about what’s important. You have only two options:

1. Fame and fortune
2. Obscurity

Hmm. I’d choose obscurity.

Ben Ramsey May 11

Did the journalist correct him on his pronunciation of “Pulitzer?”

Ben Ramsey May 11

“It sure as hell ain’t Russian.”

“No, sir. It’s alien.”

WHO THE FUCK WROTE THIS?!

Ben Ramsey May 11

I love how they have to put up hand-written signs on the port-o-potties to let you know they’re toilets.

Ben Ramsey May 11

The photo-journalist has a look that reminds me of a Baldwin brother (he’s not).

Ben Ramsey May 11

I have the feeling there was no script. The director just gave them a brief description of the scene, called "action," and then left the set.

Ben Ramsey May 11

“Please. Let’s go somewhere more secret” is code for, “I want to get into your pants.”

Don’t take him back to your room!

“This is different. This is apocalyptic.”

Because nothing else has ever been apocalyptic.

Ben Ramsey May 11

“More dead bodies than a Tarantino flick.”

This is 1999. They have no idea.

Ben Ramsey May 11

Did they just try to add elements from Twister to this?

Ben Ramsey May 11

This is really beyond horrible dialog.

“This can’t be happening!”

“No! This isn’t real!”

“The prophecy is fulfilled!”

“I can talk to him!”

Ben Ramsey May 11

“What’s your objective?”

“Kill the enemy and break their toys.”

“Good answer.”

Then, we never see her again. Why did she even get a line?

Ben Ramsey May 11

“Nothing leaves this jeep. Anything said here is top secret.”

“Okay. We believe you. Let’s start sharing top secret information.”

Ben Ramsey May 11

“It smells like old people.”

Ben Ramsey May 11

I’m just laughing at how objectively bad this movie is. I think it’s the worst so far, this year. Not bad in terms of boring or anything like that. Just bad because it’s so horribly written, directed, and acted. I can’t believe someone spent money on sending this to theaters.

Ben Ramsey May 11

It’s like they asked the bottom of the barrel from community theatre wannabes to write, direct, and act in this.

Ben Ramsey May 11

So, aliens are attacking and a giant monster is rampaging through the city, and the “experts” want to argue about who knew what? Typical.

Ben Ramsey May 11

The kids jumping and cheering in the shuttle bus has been the best part of this movie so far. They acted better than anyone else for their roles.

Ben Ramsey May 11

The daemon?

They’re running Unix? I know this!

Ben Ramsey May 11

“We're not exactly in Vegas, are we?”

So, when you’re not in Vegas, the odds are…in your favor?

Ben Ramsey May 11

This is the absolute worst inspirational pep talk. It sounds extremely sarcastic.

Ben Ramsey May 11

Ah, the age-old trope of destroy-the-nuclear-power-plant-and-it-goes-off-like-a-bomb.

Ben Ramsey May 11

That’s the best line in the movie, so far:

“Compared to this guy, Godzilla is a pussy.”

Ben Ramsey May 11

They've only just now realized they should attempt the use of infrared tracking.

Ben Ramsey May 11

If the bombers are on their way, why didn't they call back their jetpack team?

Ben Ramsey May 11

“Barbecue this, bucko!”

Ben Ramsey May 11

Is Young Gary going to save the day?

Ben Ramsey May 11

“Damn! This place is turning into a freaking prehistoric petting zoo!”

They gave this guy all the “good” lines.
