OK so you KNOW you're not going to be watching "Lawrence of Arabia" here, and this doesn't have Daniel Day-Lewis or Meryl Streep appearing in it so don't expect something which needs higher end accents. I will say that I believe DDL or Meryl would have enjoyed appearing in this film as it just looks like everyone is having some fun. Why wouldn't they? There are Wrestlers versus Zombies. You don't see that often, but it's right up there with Cowboys versus Aliens. Alien versus Predator. King Kong versus Godzilla. Kramer versus Kramer even! Give this film a shot and just enjoy the fun you're having.

We humans are terrible. We colonize indigenous beings, exploit the land, have zero respect for existing cultures, and even hunt whales for sport. We're absolutely awful. Thank you James Cameron for bringing this to my attention and hammering it into my skull for three hours. I needed to know this over and over since I guess I didn't get that message from your previous Avatar film. Since we're bound to have several more of these with the exact same message about how terrible we are, I imagine this re-occurring theme is ahead of us for years to come.

I'd really like to enjoy movies again.

On the brighter side, the special effects are amazing, and the futuristic hardware is interesting.

If you're going to watch something by Paul Schraeder, check out his greats - Cat People, Blue Collar, American Gigolo, or those he wrote: Taxi Driver, Bringing Out the Dead, or The Mosquito Coast. This one, well, if it weren't for Gretchen Mol being very easy on the eyes, this would not be worth the time to watch. I appreciate Ray Liotta and Joseph Feinnes as actors, but their talents have been wasted as well. The best I could say was that it was interesting to see the 70s again and be somewhat accurate about it. Still, this film proves that people even with Schraeder's experience and reputation, will sometimes need a paycheck as well.
