Quickie Review: Two American entrepreneurial friends are in Moscow on a business trip. While there, they hook-up with a couple of female American tourists at a night club just as the whole world is being invaded by power-hungry near-invisible aliens who have no qualms about disintegrating any living thing that comes in their way. Somehow surviving the initial attack, the group emerge from hiding days later to find and join with other survivors to fight the deadly alien threat.
The audience somewhat liked it.
It was just okay to me.
Here are the things that I found wrong in this movie: If everybody felt like it was the end of the world and I came upon the guy who stole my business idea, I'd kill him right there and then! After all, who'll be there to arrest me and put me in jail? That dead guy's body that they wrapped in Saran Wrap should have been bloated after two days' time! The guys emerged out of hiding without any facial hair at all even though they had no access to razor blades and shaving cream! The plane that crashed through the wall of that shopping center still had its nose in perfect shape. Obviously, the aliens cannot see through glass; BUT their human targets don't have sharply-delineated energy fields--they glow. So ... if a human hides behind a glass shield, the human's energy field will still radiate a glow in much the same way that a light bulb will glow and give away its location even if it is hidden behind a solid, opaque object! Before that alien disintegrated the dog, it was far enough away to have been able to see the area underneath the patrol car and would have--should have--noticed the two guys's energy fields! I guess these aliens don't have the presence of mind to turn their heads and look at what's behind them! And speaking of the patrol car and the human energy field, the four of them could just have hopped into a car and driven away with the glass windows rolled-up and not be seen by any of the aliens! How long did that electrician take to turn his apartment into a "Faraday Cage" since he obviously had to go around town to scrounge for parts and supplies? The aliens' energy fields can make lights turn on, can make windshield wipers turn on and can make a drained car battery charge-up BUT it cannot charge the battery pack of the Microwave Projector Rifle??? Why did the girl swim to shore when the submarine that they went looking for was RIGHT THERE??? Why did all of their cellphones give-off ring tones even though they couldn't tell whether the 'phones were off or on since they were all without charge and had no reception at all, to begin with? And who would be calling all of their cellphones at that ungodly time??? AND ... instead of coming down to the ground to harvest energy, the aliens could just have stayed in the clouds since lightnings are generated in the clouds over 8 1/2 million times PER DAY!!! Ha, ha, ha.
P.S. I hope that that poor little ol' kitty got out of there okay ....
