The trailers for this movie were quite impressive; promising an epic war between aliens and humans, but only showed what they knew would bring audiences into the theater. The truth is the film was more about a small group of marines and their struggles set in the back drop of an alien invasion in Santa Monica. This movie was basically the Hurt Locker, but with aliens instead of bombs. This film didn’t know what it wanted to be. It couldn’t decide whether or not it wanted the audience to care about the characters or not. They were developed enough to annoy me, but not developed enough to make me care. I wanted more explosions, more fights, and less drama.
