Once is enough

I'm not going to compare this one from the 50's version cause I haven't seen it what I would say though is that this movie just made the borderline for me. I mean how could you hate an end of the world type of movie with Chinese speaking aliens on it. I guess in a sense you’re probably thinking this remake would suck because of all the negative reviews about it but in the end the true test is to see it yourself. In my honest opinion the whole movie in totality stood on its own feet. It had great actors (Keanu, Jennifer and Jaden), a somewhat good yet at times preachy story and a plausible CG effects. The only thing I had a problem with is fact that there isn’t enough energy throughout the whole movie. It definitely lacks that wow factor you’re expecting. At the end of it all you kind of feel like this movie just sucked the life out of you. But I guess this one’s worth even a single viewing.
