Highly Overrated But Still Good
Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
It's a intense gripping movie keeping us hooked to the screen to know the ending. Though the ending depicts an biblical apocalypse. The film's longer length is easily overshadowed by stunning visuals of flight and metro accidents. The emotional relationships also plays a bigger part in this movie. And the ending makes us think about loving people when we still have the time.
When the disasters start happening, the movie turns out to be very explosive, and it kept me on the edge of my seat. The only issue I had was the ending. A little bit more of an explanation as to why the aliens wanted certain people would have been great! Overall it was a very good movie!
I tried watching this movie but got so frustrated because I couldn't hear Cage and Byrne when hey spoke! Sound effects were plenty loud but the conversation was so low that even turning up the volume on my TV strained my hearing!
There are films that I thought would have potential and there are films that lead to a somewhat climatic buildup but are left with the audience confused and dumbfounded. When I first saw this movie, I thought it was alright, I mean there are worse "end-of-the-world" movies, but then there is, "Knowing." Knowing was and is a mess, anything Nicholas Cage touches, it turns to dirt. The buildup for the movie gave hope in how a end of the world movie would be, but it's not the beginning or middle, it's the ending that had me confused and baffled. The movie basically was saying that the world is ending and how more or less children are our "salvation." But what really was happening was a mess and confusion. They combined elements from different movie aspects and made it appalling. I do not recommend this film to anyone or anything.
