About

You’ll likely enjoy this big, loud alien-invasion popcorn ride if you want nonstop excitement and heart; Not for you if you need deep storytelling, subtle dialogue, or strict credibility like Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith or War of the Worlds.

Pros: huge alien action; memorable cast; fun blockbuster energy | Cons: can feel cheesy; plot credibility issues; over-the-top humor
