Black Hawk Down meets War of the Worlds.Noisy action scenes,little plot,cookie cutter character templates.Loved every second of it too.Too many action films today try to take it to seriously,or make it too artsy fartsy.This thing is built for action,and it delivers it for 2 hours.Aliens invade Earth,begin attacking major points around the globe.We learn that they are most likely here for our water,but their reasons are never dwelled on.That is fine because this movie is about a small platoon of Marines and their plight to get out of their situation alive.There is no greater concern than that,and the movie does a great job of making you forget that even if they get out alive,the rest of the world is still F'ed.Really enjoyable,4 stars.
