So I thought this movie was going to be a disaster movie like "Armageddon," and so I was getting giddy in the first 5 minutes. By the 15 minute mark, you find out it's an extraterrestrial movie like "War of the Worlds," and that's when I rolled my eyes and started to lose interest. Then by the 30 minute mark, you find out the alien is played by Keanu Reeves. SERIOUSLY?!?! That's just a recipe for disaster? When was the last good Keanu movie? "Speed?" Even then, it was more about the movie rather than the actor. I did enjoy "Point Blank" and "Bill and Ted" back in the day though. I don't know; after "Speed," it all seemed to go downhill for Keanu. Back to the movie...the biggest issue I have about these alien movies is that you can point out so many holes in the movie that you just start disbelieving it. I know aliens are fiction, but you can't have the characters not shit in their pants when they see it. Or RUN FROM IT. Who would walk towards an alien? C'mon... this movie was so bad I just couldn't wait for it to end. Sorry Jennifer Connelly, even you couldn't carry this stink bomb!
