Here's my spoiler alert: I'm gonna really really try to not be mean in this review. But it's gonna be next to impossible to write an honest review without sounding mean. Popped this on in the background while I was working, 'cause I do love me some sci-fi. Even bad, cheesy sci-fi. Pretty soon, it was just kinda like trying to not watch a train wreck. You know you should turn away, but you can't, because the immature, spiteful part of you wants to see if it's really as bad as it seems. Oh, it's worse. The only way I can figure that this got made is the principals involved have really really rich parents who gave them a bunch of money and told them to "go play and leave the grown-ups alone for a while" so the kids decided to make a "really neat cool movie with Robots(?) and Guns and Explosions and a Really Evil Bad Guy!". Eh. I still got my work done.

And I had to turn this off, it is SO un-watchable. It's an interesting premise. Aliens have taken control of the Earth. So, what happens next? How so we resist? Well, I don't know how this was answered in 'Taking Earth', because I had to bail out after about a half hour or so. Just couldn't take it any more. Now, to be fair, maybe I couldn't do any better at making a movie. I'm not a director or producer. But I'm pretty sure I could do as well. So could my Labrador Retriever.
