Title: FAILS AT WHAT IT IS TRYING TO BE
Review: If this movie had been a buddy bonding movie I would have given it three stars. This movie tries to be a buddy-nerd bonding movie and it fails in that sub-genre. To be a movie about nerds or geeks the characters have to have dialogue that is ecclectic and esoteric. The characters have to say things that other geeks and nerds would understand and find interesting but that most people wouldn't. In this movie there are no references to STOS, STNG, STV, Star Wars, Soylent Green, Planet of the apes, Thunderbirds, Dark Shadows, Night Stalker, et al. There is one running gag about a fictional writer. There is also a long diatribe agianst Christianity(although oddly nothing about Islam.) For a movie about UFO's I wonder why they didn't have Art Bell do a cameo. The protaganists in this movie might be geeks but we don't know because they never talk about anything that would be vaguely interesting to another geek. They never mentioned D&D.
