I believe that the director originally wanted to make a nonsensical comedy, but some fans thought it was a sci-fi movie that was so explosive. .

I can't stand movies that have flaws in the plot.
In the movie, the aliens are so stupid to die. Two earthlings drive the spacecraft. The aliens suck the spaceship with the nuclear bomb into the mother ship without verifying the identity of the other party (even if the plane on the earth landed on the airport tower, you have to communicate, right? ?). Just suck it, you have to suck it into the core of the mother ship, and then the mother ship does not have any firewall mechanism, which directly infects the core computer (please now that ordinary companies have special firewall software, OK, the huge alien army can't do it. A computer virus made temporarily by a human on Earth), so the alien boss found out that the ship was suspicious. The advanced aliens didn’t even have anything like X-rays, and they had to manually open the window to check where the ship was. Holy, I don’t know that even the equipment for taking a subway to check the bag is more advanced than him.
In this way, there are still some fans of brain damage claiming to think that aliens are more advanced than earthlings. I went. Didn't you hear the President say that these aliens have destroyed countless planets? People not only destroyed countless planets, but also made countless interstellar travels. Based on this, will IQ be lower than that of the earthlings? Will the interstellar combat experience be inferior to the earthlings? Moreover, people have made specimens of people on the earth, and the United States has held specimens of aliens for so many years, has there been any research results? Do you ever know what aliens are afraid of?
I can cite an infinite number of similar flaws, and it was a waste of two and a half hours of my time.
Well, if you still want to score 4 or 5 stars like this, I'm defeated. If I didn't say anything.
