what can i say? alien invasion, humanity is doomed and only a handful of US marines seem to be able to put up a(despite being awful)resistance to the other worldly home wreckers. well for starters i thought Aaron Eckhart was well cast(he also gives a good morale speech although unfortunately it felt like that was the best bit)as for the others... not so much(especially Michelle Rodriguez, why does Hollywood insist on throwing her a gun and making her play a grizzled tomboy in every single movie) at the begging it takes a look at several of the key soldiers personal positions in life, which in comparison to the rest of the film doesn't seem necessary, and really everything that is pointed out at the beginning is re-clarified later on.
i find the worst part of the film was the alien design, i couldn't understand why they looked like goop with legs, if the planet is going to be taken by a ferocious alien attack i want them to at least look the part, like Xenomorphs(Aliens) or Prawns(district 9) even would be a bit more intimidating. the whole plot about saving civilians was another downer, if the worlds ending and you need to secure your best line of defense why would you send a group of well trained marines in to save five people and on that note i have to say i didn't see many of the goops around fighting, maybe a total of twenty four/five were actually shown 'invading' with there super(junkyard looking)tech to wipe us out.
In my opinion it was far too long and as for the end, it was far too dull and if it was meant to show the chances of humanity's survival, i'd have to say our odds were slim. It's definitely one of those best-bits-in-the-trailer as thats the only real action shown,the rest is generally a dark and dull look at the end of the world, but if your really bored want to see Call of Duty Vs goops, and a bunch of guys (plus tomboy Rodriguez)shouting 'HOO-RAH' and some real brain numbing explosion scenes, i present Destroyed: LA.
