just saw this movie...it was awesome!
going into i didn't read any reviews, although i knew it got bad ones. i went in just expecting good effects at the least. but the whole movie turned out great.
-the plot, characters and main character, and dialogue was solid. funny parts were actually funny.
-the special effects were niiiice, and the substantial action was really surprising, i was expecting low budget and small scale but nope.
-it actually has discernible influences from the board/real life game itself. things such as
how they used water displacement buoys to make a grid and find the opponent ships, and also how the opponent/alien ships' missiles actually look like the pins you use in the board game. that was a nice touch.
-the enemy/opposing force designs were well done.
-i liked how the enemy,
since they were supposed to be from an earth like planet, they look humanoid with realistic hands. like i could see how if our evolution was different we might have those hands and it would be practical. also liked how it was implied (imo) they were water creatures that could go on land whereas we are earth creatures that can go on water. its the reasoning behind why they are more sensitive to sunlight, and have water based vehicles. also, since our planet is 70% water its a good reason for them to come and take over.
only negative is when
the main character's brother dies he doesn't show as much emotion as i would have liked.
why didn't anyone else like it?
watch the movie!!
