This was served up and I figured what the heck...I'm in the middle, but I am compelled to report that this is really, really BAD. Do not watch. I cannot overstate...
Ice Cube is a DHS analyst monitoring surveillance feeds from everywhere while also monitoring his two kids constantly and harassing them. Eva Longoria is his friend who has some role at NASA. The entire film is presented thru Cube's computer screen. If you like lots and lots of reaction shots of Ice Cube, this is your movie...perplexed, angry, concerned...they are all here. It reminds me of this one Modern Family episode that was done completely via computer and phone screens: https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainmen...ht/386177/
Near the beginning of the film, while Cube is busy with the above, Eva calls him to report that there are all kinds of weird weather events around the world and that their satellites have been down for two days (!!).
It takes about 20 min before the aliens attack. What follows is considerable stupid. Script, dialog, acting. The whole package.
So many questions. Why does DHS use Zoom? How does Cube's surveillance infrastructure still work when GPS and all other computer systems are down...
I'm a deer in the headlights. I can't look away.
NOT RECOMMENDED!
