Title: Independence Day Re-hash with Mechanical Aliens
Review: It is definitely to the point of cinema's history where good effects can override a good story and that's all it takes to sell tickets, DVD's, merchandise, etc. I thought it was ironic that this came out on Independence Day weekend, considering how much of the plot followed that movie. I could spend paragraphs making the comparisons, but I guess I'll be outnumbered here anywho.My pre-teen sons loved it and it was mostly appropriate for their age. Even if they were teenagers, as the PG-13 rating suggests, I would still consider certain aspects of this story inappropriate for minors. (Thank goodness for ClearPlay!!) It boggles my mind why they make a PG-13 movie from a children's cartoon series with obvious children's toy tie-ins. Actually, it doesn't boggle my mind, since I understand Hollywood's agenda fairly well... Sell _______ at any social cost.
