    This was a bad, bad movie. It had no idea what genre it was or tone to carry.
    Also, filmmakers should care about messaging, not just making out with their costar a bunch- the opposite of the intended message that abuse is awful. This is a failure of filmmaking and humanity.
    Shame that the endlessly watchable Jenny Slate is in an unwatchable movie.

    It's not just that there's hunks- Hemsworth and Ventimiglia- but also a former hunk, Crowe, now a hunk of sourdough. This movie rocks.
    I hate when an action movie is illegible- this one ain't that- in fact all the eye-in-the-sky stuff really helps clarify the action within the setting.
    Warfare from afar, drone operators, is lined up against face to face combat- I guess we're supposed to be thinking about this. But the gambit never gets old, especially due to…

    A monster movie without an identity, point-of-view, or any interest in telling a story about monsters. But are the people the true monsters? No, not really that either.

    This movie loves hot butts! But wait, it also loves fleshy piles of skin and goo. I was a little hot and bothered then plenty grossed out! I laugh-screamed in disgust. Any movie that can provide such honest, visceral reactions did its job!
    The message is readily available, you don't have to dig deep. Look, there's a meaning-carcass right there! You don't have to hollow out your own flesh sac!
