hey, THERE ARE TWO, I liked the movie also and all my friends look at me funny each time I say it was a good film. (though not good, it was fun and I liked watching it)

I love sci-fi and movies like the such with that plot, but I have to admit I thought it was a terrible movie. My brother read the book and swears by it, he also saw the movie and disliked it. One thing that gets me about cheesy movies like this is un-realistic sci-fi situations like; all those mad-max tribal humans kicking ass in the jump jets and F16 fighters after what, a few hours in a flight simulator! I mean come on, these guys were living in caves a few scenes back!! This kinda stuff just pisses me off, and like after 1,000 years all that jet fuel would still work (let alone the planes), guess they added that gas stabilizer stuff before the aliens took over?

i'm with you, Stiler! it wasnt great... but wasnt horrible either... i thought it had a good storyline and was overall a decent movie. sure some of the acting wasnt the best, but it was far from horrible...

expecialy since harrier training is one of the most hardest flight training you can do, that was the biggest problem with the movie
