That one scene where the alien had a pink bra on was enough to make me realize that this film was simply......blah. Not to mention, the dialogue for the latter half of the film was simply 'F this and F that' and I got tired of listening to it after a while. Nothing special really and I would never consider it a masterpiece....... maybe worth a download for a second viewing but I doubt I'll be anymore impressed (not that I was the first time I saw it). I will admit though that I did love the weapons in this film.

I also don't understand why someone would come to a discussion forum with a list of "plot holes" that get debunked, then refuse to comment further."


Was that aimed at ME?!?

What part of this sentence wasn't clear?
"I'm really not interested in continuing a thread with hidden blocks of text.
When everyone has seen it. Then we can discuss it properly without all of these annoying hidden text blocks."
Maybe I should have written that in hidden text.



Just listen to what you guys are saying.:

"It wasn't the mother ship that ran on the tiny canister of fuel. It was just the control ship."

"Only the leaders and the engineers were killed by a virus. The stupid drones survived. And that's why a bunch of moronic human thugs could rule over them."

"The drones had access to high tech weapons. But they were too stupid to make use of them"

"Christopher was smart. That's why his son could build and use advanced technology."

"The fuel was based on DNA. So it's not that big of a stretch to believe that it could possibly turn humans into aliens"

C'mon guys. This is a good science fiction film. And I admit I missed a few things. Especially from the beginning of the film. Because I didn't see the first ten minutes or so of it. But lets take a bite of a reality sandwich here.
This is a Syfy channel script wrapped up in a big budget cover.
This film's script is full of very loose plot devices that will bug the hell out of some people who can't use their imaginations.
I liked it a lot. But I was also willing to give the loose script the free pass it requires. And I understand how other people can't/won't do that.


Pkmatrix,
You seem sincere about wanting to understand people. So for what it's worth. I offer you this advice from the POV of an older guy.
If you really want to understand why some people don't like a science fiction film. You have to stop using the made up gobblygook in the film as actual facts that justify what's going on in it.
Far fetched is far fetched. Regardless of how well or how poorly it's explained away by the characters. It's a matter of personal opinion,
and how two people can watch the same thing. Yet perceive it completely differently. It's not about what the characters say or do in the film. It's about the perspective of the person watching it. And how much room they give it to do it's thing without questioning it.
