Hello everyone,
I hope you all are in good health. And please stay that way. Avoid social distancing and do what's in the best interest of the community. I am not going to talk about the ongoing situation as it gets me mad. However, I am going to talk about things that get me mad, but in a very different way. Movies.
So welcome you all to another episode of the Friday Night Movie Review, which for some reason is being published posted on Monday. Don’t ask. A rose would smell the same even if you call it Rosenantee. (That is my reasoning for laziness)
I recently watched a movie. (inuke clears his throat). Let me rephrase that. I recently recovered from the trauma. Ok, when someone says aliens what comes to your mind. Obviously, there is the iconic Aliens series which Hollywood managed to run aground. There is the Predator series which met with a similar fate. There is the Thing which I am waiting for someone to ruin it. With an exception to few that sets the bar high and the rest are forgettable. There are not many we can talk about that lacks the impact. Of course, I am talking about the enemy alien and not the one like from the ET, Megamind, Christopher Walken, Steve Buschemi, William Dafoe. I am talking about hostile aliens.
There are good alien movies, There are bad alien movies and then there are movies that think that they are alien movies. These are the movies that simply confuse you. And makes you ask the question ‘Wait I have seen this movie before’ or ... Let's get to it. I don’t wanna waste energy.
I am talking about the leftover of Transformers footage and the Worst Music Video feat. Rihanna. This is the BattleField. Sorry BattleShip.
SPOILER – THIS IS NOT AN ALIEN MOVIE. THIS IS A MOVIE WHICH HAS ALIENS IN IT
Ok, When you hear extraterrestrial what comes to mind. Creatures from outer space with Laser, Phasers, ruthless, creatures you would love to hate. Well, strap in to get disappointed.
The movie starts with the brilliant idea of us looking for life on another planet. Now there is nothing wrong with that. But the way they are searching is a little odd. They send a light beam to the sky. I mean.. (Argh!!!)
Leave it. That is the least of the worries. The Lead played by the actor who also was the actor who played John Carter who also played the Gambit in Wolverine movies. I don’t remember his name and nobody does. Was shown as a slacker who doesn’t care about anything and gets arrested for stealing a chicken burrito to impress a girl. This gets his brother mad and he pushes him into the Navy.
Now coming back to the aliens they travel from afar of galaxy to earth in 5Ships. Out of which one crashed into a satellite. Now mind you they traveled from a different galaxy and they still crash.. (inuke facepalms himself). The alien lost their communication ship. That means there is no way they can contact home unless they use the facility from where we sent the signal. The remaining 4 ships land on the Ocean where RIMPAC Naval training exercise was in progress. Many countries are participating in this event from all over the world.
Now let me ask you a question which I think is valid. If you can send a vehicle to a different planet what type of vehicle would it be? Since earth is 70% water it makes sense to send a ship right? Wrong if you that advance to explore another planet you will send a vehicle that can fly, sail, Submerge, walk, climb, and do whatever that there is. But this intelligent lifeform came to earth with some ships which jump around on seawater. They are the dumbest alien since the signs (inuke breath in and exhales the anger)
Anyway moving on they cast a big shield trapping the lead characters along with them so they can establish communication with their home-base request reinforcement. The battle ensues between the earth forces and their advanced alien technology. The humans loses their destoryers and gets a battleship into the action. A battleship which was decommissioned and is a museum. And that's the story the battleship – Waste of time.
It's boring, and just another military porn. Where people are doing nothing but staring at the screen. It looks like something from Micheal Bay’s collection. Trust me if I show you a clip you would say “that is from transformers’.
I hate the looks and the feel. The aliens are just the aliens from the sign who had been hitting the gym. They are from a planet that is similar to earth. And yet for some reason, they can't stand the sunlight. (That's just bullshit reason to avoid makeup, I tell you that). They are so dumb they stop shooting at the target just because the target has its weapon facing the other way. Their weapons sucks too; You don't travel to other planet with artillery shells and some weird yo-yo things. And the worst thing is how this movie makes you feel. After watch it the only feel you will have is ‘Chaa, I should have completed that assignment or laundry’.
It has Liam Neeson doing nothing, absolutely nothing. That alone should get you pissed.
I just hate it. You know what would have interesting. The movie is other way around. That has People traveling to another planet getting stuck in hostile territory with no communication back home. Has to come up with a plan to use the communication back home. And get rescued. Now, that's the movie I want to watch. I think it exists let me find it so that I can cancel the effects of this Board game turned nightmare.
I am inuke.
I want to thank you all for the love and support that you guys have been giving me. You can find me in the discord channel of IndiaUnited and BeAwesome. Check them out there are some really cool intelligent lifeforms in these groups.
