I normally wont bother writing review of a title which i didn't like but this was such an exercise in stupidity that I feel like I must not be so selfish and share my pain with other so as warn them about dangers of watching this movie! Imagine a porn movie without nudity.;well this is such a science -fiction movie without any science...and fiction is not well either!..A Bruce Willis die hard genre seems like an intellectual art work in front of this garbage.
Its filled with plot holes, in accurateness...absolute stupidities but thats okay, whats worse is its neither had a good story nor even good acting by main characters. Expect Laurence, all other teenagers acts like over smart show-offs with little understanding of themselves or others. And so is the viewers are also taken for granted by equally stupid. The story of being abducted by alien is as old as slice bread. And with no CGI to speak off and story written by school graders least should be expected.
I don't know what went through my mind when i started watching it ; maybe my mind too was abducted by alien so I lost of sense of thinking. Oh yeah..it said something about hacking and MIT labs...well let me save your soul..its about neither...you neither see MIT nor hacking nor any nerd stuff..thats just a plot line to attract you to a sleep-buster.! And btw those who liked the movie can explain to me ; why a super advanced aliens don't have anything simple like CCTV or GPS tracking devices in their "military" facilities? Of course then director wont have had 2 hrs to kill!!
