Attack of the Unknown

I don't know about you, but when I watch a movie, I expect a semblance of realism. This movie was bad. I don't mean like " oh the acting was terrible". No I mean the script of this movie should have never been greenlighted. I can't begin to tell you the amount of just inept weird, stupid things that happened at the start of this movie. I can give 3 distinct things that I would expect anyone who has watched an action film to at least understand. At bare minimum. 1. A police SWAT team, storming a building, are going to wear body armor. 2. A drug kingpin doing a deal for 5 billion dollars, is probably not doing it in an abandoned warehouse on a couple of barrels smoking angel dust with literally ZERO people watching the perimeter during said meeting. 3. No SWAT Team sniper is going to be charging into a room and trying to shoot a sniper rifle in an enclosed room. Like, at bare minimum, these are basic strategy, basic screenwriting types of things. They chose these things either because budget was low, or they literally just didn't think about them. If its low budget, that's a poor excuse. If they didn't think about it, then stop making action films. I mean come on guys. Even fake body armor would've looked better than them wearing the faux vest and t-shirt with SWAT emboldened on the back.

You can see it in Grieco's eyes throughout the movie. "Is this what it's come to? Am I really doing this? Oh please God, let this be over soon!". And when the aliens arrive on the screen, you can't suppress the laughter anymore. They look like something from a 50's film. This is an embarrassment to all participants. I bet they wish they could delete their names from the movie's IMDB page. But they can't. They have to live with it. Poor sods. I lasted an hour. I was curious to see how bad it could get. You can save yourself that hour.

I went in on this knowing it was gonna be bad, but not this bad. I wonder if I ever seen anything worse. Give it a big PASS if you want to see this.

An alien invasion is happening. Los Angeles is being destroyed. Buildings are being shot by alien weaponry. A "SWAT" team sees the aliens, and tries to fight them. Their bullets have no effect; and they lose an officer in the fight. After taking refuge in a remote police station, some of them gather for a quiet moment. "I have some bad news," says one them, "I was diagnosed with cancer."

Plenty of uselless scenes to pad the run time because the script is pretty lousy.

Not much though was put into the operation of police procedures.

Not that it has to follow every rule of law but it should have some sort of realism to it. Guns uniforms and general operation should be something more reaslistic - as well as when bullets hit walls and window...things tend to explode or break apart - but not in this movie.

I've seen worse and I know there are many other worse movies out there - but this is not really good.

I invested money into this, but if I had any input in the production, it would be 10 000 times better than it is, so my investment was only money and not any decisions behind the making of this mess.

With the money spent on this, I could have made something far better than this mess and had the proper actors to fill the roles.
