Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

acemacleod Sadly I fell for the bad reviews and bad press. Even the first time I tried to watch it I filtered it through the noise and didn't give it a chance at all. At $7.88 as a Channing Tatum and sci-fi fan I bought the blu-ray and gave it a chance. It's worth every penny of that. It's no Black Panther, but it's no Battlefield Earth either. It's more watchable than Dune, not as fun (or campy) as Starship Troopers, and either a low A or high B grade by my book. The story is no more or less complicated than other space operas. The pacing alternates well, and is above medium as a whole. Some scenes slow down but not as severe as some press stated.The special effects are pure Wachowski and fit the story. Bad special effects are exemplified by the almost 5 minute Enterprise fly by in 1979's Star Trek. There are many huge effects but they are not celebrated at the detriment of the story or pacing. Some have complained about trivia such as wings too small to support mass and I disagree with that sniping in general. We don't have gravity boots, dog men, bee Sean Beans, cannibalistic immortality potions or laser swords and nobody complains about those, so get over the wings. The character effects were better than most.The acting was well done. Eddie Redmayne was terrible in Fantastics Beasts. I wanted to scream look at the camera, look people in the eye! His being unrecognizable in this role is a compliment and Beasts may not have been his fault. His voice was less annoying than Bale's Batman but not a plus. I am not a Mila Kunis fan but she did well in this role. Sean Bean always lives up to his body of work and amazingly survived this film. At least the Wachowskis don't kill Starks when they get mad at fans. No one dominated like a Cumberbatch, Serkis, or Weaving but they all filled their roles. As a martial artist the fight scenes were as real as a dog man fighting a flying dinosaur could be. The attempt at realism versus CGI is evident. If you haven't, watch this. You may not buy it or rewatch it like a 14 year old in 1977 watching Star Wars, but it's worth any genre fan's time. For transparency I loved Valerian and am not a real fan of the last two Transformer's movies.

bramstayer There was enough multiple ideas to make a whole entire alternative universe and with good casting and character development it could be fun scary touching but they shoved it all ina film that is too long in the end. Lovely visuals costume design sets and some acting but i was really bored and felt like they wasted time, which was the whole point of the harvesting of humans just like scientology claims LOL. Too bad they didnt take a longer view and made 3 awesome well paced films...this failed for me. Aslo does the woman ha e to believe the last man she talks to like some female goodlookimg Trump PRESIDENT!?

awehmeyer-11453 Went to see this with my friends who were hyped to view it. We ended up leaving halfway through out of anger to watch the 2015 Spongebob Movie instead. May I add that the Spongebob movie was about one hundred times more entertaining than this film. Not saying that the Spongebob movie was high art, we just got more enjoyment with our money. Would not recommend, even if it was free. Disappointing and lack-luster to say the least.
