  It's really not that good.
  
  The title says it all but a more detailed explanation of the film. Terrorists attacking the world (seen it before and must better in other films). Over the top ... read more »

  A Film For Nobody
  
  This film is too violent for children (gory death scenes) and too unbelievable for adults young or old. I couldn't work out who it was aimed at.

  How not to make an action movie
  
  What a load of utter nonsense. I enjoy a good action movie. Mind you, most are a bit over the top, but this one outdoes them all.

  Mindless action flick, but very enjoyable!
  
  As you'd expect, it has a lame story and the acting is pretty dire, but the action is first rate. The special FX are superb. If you like transformers, then ... read more »

  Cheesy action
  
  Cheesy action, comic-style action-drama. The story is so predictable, hope the sequel is better if ever they are making one.

  Over the top? That is the whole point.
  
  Looking at the trailer, it isn't supposed to be a fly-on-the-wall documentary.
