Yes it is

So how does the movie end

similar to the first one, they got inside the ship and set off bombs.

they basically set the premise for an entire cinematic universe. there's a 3rd alien life that's futuristic AI, it's teaching other alien life forms (on one planet) how to fight against the queen aliens and their hives. they pretty much all but said "..and check back in a few years for that tale! :smugfavre:"

i probably would have hated this movie if i didnt see it in 3d :heh:

I can find something to love in just about any film but this movie was complete and utter trash. I don't even know where to start

let me just put it like this, my whole squad came with and I was the only one who didn't fall asleep during this shyt :dead: like the action and disaster porn was some of the most boring stuff i've ever seen. the trailers are better than the entire movie :mindblown: i just kept watching hoping that the corny bullshyt would stop and never did. it just got worse and worse as they keep throwing lines to one needless character after another

and the action was just dumb

it was so fukking dumb

its 2016 and you can't even draw up a decent dogfight?:childplease: the 'big aerial battle' is like 5 minutes of some gi joe shyt i promise to god i leaned back in my chair and my whole row hit the :shaq2: in unison











i can't

after the movie a bunch of people started talking and we all agreed we should've just seen finding dory :heh: i've never seen people come together and discuss garbage like this in all my life of checking movies in theaters. will smith was right to dodge this piece of shyt - even after earth was better

it was better than yall gave it credit for. it was entertaining, and probably better than the first :ufdup: also, seeing it 3d probably helps the experience

I saw it in iMax 3D and it wasn't anything special

Movie was straight. Definitely liked it better than X-men and Batman vs Superman.
Bad

-Acting was pretty wack and there is nothing that makes you care whether any of the characters live or die. Cheesy lines
-Some of the movie scenes are Sharknado status, like when one of the major characters dies :mjlol:
- I'm still confused why it ended the way it did

Good
-Good fx generally outside some obvious blue screen moments
-Aliens handing out L's and they're more intimidating
-Pretty fast paced as far as action goes. They don't really build up character relationships because it's quickly on to the next scene of aliens blowing something up
-I liked the introduction of a new major character

I was entertained enough to not be pissed, and I even liked the fact they set it up for another one. If Fast & Furious can go on for 12 more movies with ridiculous plots why not ID4?:yeshrug:

Naw....

Will looking like a genius for dodging this bullet and picking Suicide Squad.
Roland Emmerich has been trash since the 90s. Anything he does is just cheesy fluff for bird brain audiences. I had a glimmer of hope for this movie but should've known better. Summer movie season is just a crowded mess of sequels and remakes, nothing poppin off until August.

So looks like

Tarzan will flop
Star Trek will Flop
Ghostbusters looks :scust:

What am I forgetting?

Bourne and Ben-Hur might flop too. Everything else is low budget or a cartoon so they can make their money back somehow.

This shyt was :coffee: Roland Emmerich knows how to make a gorgeous movie and even though this was bigger than the original (which isn't that good either) it's a lot flatter and seemingly moves at a snail's pace even though there's a lot going on. I know it's supposed to be ridiculous but there were moments when I was seriously confused:laff: and not in a good way. And the ending (when it finally came after a couple pump fakes) felt so anticlimactic. The first one is my cousins favorite movie and she fell asleep in this shyt and was mad when it was over:deadmanny:

The action was solid and on point, the effects were of course on point as well but everything in between just felt so wooden
I didn't even think the action was all that great to be honest.
The FX was nice but in this day and age you have to be a complete hack director to not get decent FX in your big budget movie.
And I consider the first movie to be good because at its core it was a disaster movie, its just that instead of an earthquake or volcano erupting the disaster was a bunch of alien space ships.
This movie pretty much tossed the disaster movie model in the trash and tried to be a sci-fi action movie which it ended up doing a pretty shytty job of accomplishing.

Going to a press screening later today. Loved the first one, haven't seen one trailer for this :patrice:
How is that even possible? Even if you are unsullied how can you completely avoid trailers for this? :what:

My boy wants me to go today. I have no interest but i do have movie cash from the bluray
