I'm
so sick of watching a mixture of blurs and nothing happening though a
shaky hand held camera.
The
best thing this film did for me was to make me feel nostalgic for
Nevada (they even had the Little A'Le'Inn!), but 'Paul' could have
done that, and I felt no character connection, no interest in the
plot, no excitement throughout, and I don't think even any fear
(though I wasn't watching it by myself in a room with the lights off,
and I'm not five, so maybe I'm not being fair). I did feel mild
confusion towards the end, but the tropes they roll out all fit
together in some sort of a way, so there isn't even that much of a
mystery.
Basically:
a guy is abducted and recruited (unknowingly) to go free some aliens
from Area 51, then he does, and in return him and his friends are
abducted (and I guess eaten, or something) at the end. The film
actually picks up a little in its last, say, twenty minutes, and ends
up feeling like one of the mythology episodes from season nine of
'The X-Files'. It doesn't make that much sense, but it looks flashy
and has aliens in it, so shut up.
That's
what this movie is telling you. Are you going to take that? You sicken me.
