“Maybe some minor spoilers here, but come on, what is there to spoil?u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s bad. How bad is it? u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWell, the movie revolves around aliens who steal brains; it starts in LA, then thereu0026#39;s about an hour escaping the alien mothership, then they land in Vietnam and everyone knows martial arts, including the aliens (you know, because, Asia). Yes, including the token female, who was a subway engineer at the beginning of the movie. It all wraps up in some kind of macho fantasy with fighting robots and some paper-thin inspirational boondoggles about human resilience. The action sequences are so silly that I just want them to get on with it… but when the action stops, attempts at character and story development are excruciating! Yea yea, the little girl is the key to the blah blah blah… turn this glowing blue orb into a glowing red orb… u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIu0026#39;m not saying you shouldnu0026#39;t watch it-you just have to know what youu0026#39;re getting into. I like bad movies. I like movies that try, but are still bad, like maybe theyu0026#39;re not quite in on the joke (for that reason, I donu0026#39;t like movies like Sharknado, where everyone is in on it). Thatu0026#39;s this movie. Itu0026#39;s a special kind of bad movie, that might just hit the spot if youu0026#39;re looking for something truly absurd.”
