Review:
Unfortunately, just as in many Hollywood productions these days, the writers or producers of 'Occupation' tried extremely hard to deliver politically correct messages to the audience: so we are speechlessly witnessing a whining football player in the arms of a strong Asian woman who tells him he 'shouldn't worry'. Later on, the former hamburger cashier lady turns into a military soldier commanding the Australian elite forces around. Over time, while the movie is still somewhat entertaining, the obvious political agenda became so annoying that I turned the sound off, until the final scene, when the same Asian woman had suddenly turned into the chief negotiator of the world, making peace with the aliens.
Yet another movie destroyed by outerworldly political messages that turn entertainment into an unasked-for annoyance.
Review by rookie from the Internet Movie Database.
