This is the best worst movie I've ever seen.

SPOILERS-FREE:

The good: Great CGI, great action, good performances, entertaining, some interesting plot twists.

The bad: Most jokes are a miss. Clichés everywhere. Chris Pratt's hairdo and wardrobe. The script's plotholes were covered with play-doh.

Don't get me wrong. It was entertaining and good CGI. 90's vibe was so strong and there were so many cliches, at times it felt as a parody. At this point I am not sure if it was or not.

The falling heroin reaching out dramatically while falling to her death in slow motion, probably there are enought secenes like this to make a short compilation.

A slow motion body hitting a car which was completely unnecessary.

HERE COME THE SPOILERS This is what I mean by play-doh:

• The wife's realization of the one thing that will let them find the aliens was just lazy writing.

• They needed a Volcano expert and the best they could do, with humanity's future at stake, was a high school volcano aficionado.

• The hero's father happened to be a government-hating airplanes pilot, just because one of such will be needed near the end.

• The toxin that they worked so hard to get killed like 5 of the aliens, the rest were just blown up, that was hilarious.

• After finding the alien ship, they couldn't wait a couple days to make a plan, or at least get enough people and toxins for all the aliens in the ship, instead of storming inside and killing half of them. Guess what happened with the other half? Maybe if they brought some proof, after people saw time travelers in the soccer world cup's final match, they probably wouldn't think they were crazy.

Okay, the negative reviews almost kept me from a good watch! I enjoyed the comic relief and the aliens were so freaking scary to me! Based on the less than 7 star reviews, I went into this watch thinking it would be only background noise while I milled about completing chores. Nope! Solid 8 stars from plus 1 more to offset the negative reviews. I do agree with one reviewer who stated that Chris Party's character tried to be more than it needed to be at times (and really I think that's just his acting style). Also, it seems no of the female soldiers wore helmets.lol Lastly, um eyewear. Please Enjoy!
