Customer Reviews

Gary Zukav must have been the movie science advisor.

The "bad guy" costumes were plausible for space aliens nowadays, as almost anything goes. However, the man creatures’ attire was inappropriate for the situation and bordering on the ridiculous. People have run the mental range from morons to illiterate to excelling down through the ages. But to think that you take someone who has trouble rubbing two sticks (one stick too many) together and teach him, Euclid, in 5 minutes is stretching anyone's credibility. Putting "goat guy" in a flight simulator must make Air Force pilots feel special. It is interesting that all this weaponry in the hands of professionals only takes nine minutes to get defeated, but if you are ditzy, you can give the bad guys a run for their money (gold) with a handful of the very same (mysteriously operable) weapons. You would have gotten more action waving the flag (everyone knows what a flag is) than deciding a casual glance at the Declaration of Independence is going to inspire nomadic people that already have their society organized and relative freedom. For that matter, are you going to inspire people with a mushy speech about a paper that has no relevance to them? It did have the "Let's go get-um" feel and action of the movie "Independence Day."
