Given the low ratings, I was downright shocked at how much I enjoyed this movie. I will grant you, if you're looking for the best acting this film probably isn't for you. And even though it started off a bit slow, in the end this movie checks all the boxes...

  • Lovable loser character who finds his calling in life? Check
  • Aliens that look like bald Neanderthals with goatees? Check
  • World War II veterans that save the world...again? Hell ya - Check
  • FA18 strike Hornets when you need them the most? Check
  • Japanese and American soldiers fighting side-by-side near Pearl Harbor? Check


  • Rihanna? Check.


Heck, even Liam Neeson shows up to add some gravitas. And all this to sell a children's board game. I am speechless. I am without speech.

All joking aside, another reviewer put it best: "the special effects are the stars of this movie". And that's not always a bad thing. It has numerous fantastic moments, and it's definitely worth your time.
