This movie is a RIOT!
It's completely crazy and a total mash up of genres. I reckon the main thing that doesn't work in the movie is that there is too many genres trying to squeeze together in one film that just doesn't have the space to fit in all of them in one place at one time!
It's a shame actually because in fairness each genre is put together really well and once I was aware of whether I was watching a funny bit or a horror bit or an action fight bit I was with it and loving it. Just didn't sit perfectly as a total film. I totally got used to the path we were going down after a while and I just let it ride and once I did that I enjoyed it loads more.
Didn't think a massive thing about the effects, not really up to scratch with the nowadays standards of effects but they only had a small budget. On the other hand, don't make a film called UFO with UFO's flying round everywhere if you don't have enough dollar to make the UFO's look real. But they get a pass from me because JCVD was totally kick ass, the fight scenes were extremely cool and I got a kick out of the film.
