content: People say "Don't take this film too seriously" - like it's meant to be a comedy. The only funny thing about this movie is how bad it is. Bad characters (is it possible to have less than 1 dimension?). Stupid plot. Excrable dialog. Totally unoriginal design. Perhaps the worst movie since Emmerich's last one (the equally idiotic "StarGate"). He just keeps coming back for helping after helping of stale cliche. After writing this he must have still had the other side of the cigarette paper left for "Godzilla".Big explosions. That's all. They may as well have called it "Things Exploding" - at least no-one would have felt shortchanged.Tip for future civilisations: Build cities out of palm trees. They seem to survive anything.
