Whoever green-lighted this crap should be banned from Hollywood for 20 years. Before they shot this movie, the producer must been stinking rich, because it seems clear they didn't care whether they made their film investment money back or not. If you purposely rent this film I really hope you like it a lot. Just in case, keep a bottle of Crown Royal nearby.

It feels way too much like rocketeer for my style. The animation is cool, the story is alright, the hero is decent, Gwyneth Paltrow is okay, and the 1950's setting is cool. But still, the movie feels way too upbeat for a movie about an alien robot invasion. The saving grace is the interesting story and main character, played by Jude Law. It's a good movie, if you wanna watch it with your sci-fi geek dad. It's cheesy, has okay action, and decent acting, but that's about it. Watch captain America or iron man.

For one hour 45 minutes you forget that nothing is real. This is a Saturday morning cliffhanger series, technically excellent, with much of the screen filled with visuals made in a computer. Actors are game and witty, its funny and thrilling. A box of corn and a soda are only thing missing from serial perfection.
