We often complain about how illogical modern science fiction movies are and how stupid they are, but a movie from the 80s is breaking records.
- The main character comes from nowhere, without a penny, without housing, without transportation. I used to work at a bank.
- He sees crowds of monsters on the streets and begins to just wet them all with a gun, no plan, no partners. Obviously, there are too many of them, and you don’t shoot them all. Despite this, he manages to leave easily. Once you get around the corner from the place of a terrible shootout – and you all immediately lose sight of. Leave the streets for a day and no one is looking for you.
- At about an hour there is a completely unnecessary fight and lasts nonstop 6 minutes. The fight is ridiculous, ugly. And yes, it is for the most part real, the actors of course underestimated the force of the blows, but still a good blow each other almost without gluing. What was that? What the hell?
- Aliens have only one transmitter on Earth. It is so fragile that it can be destroyed with a single shot. At the same time, they have a very sluggish, unorganized security, completely unprepared, slow, pricking with packs under bullets like in a stupid shooter.
- The ending of the film looks comedic. Some kind of self-parody. That's probably what it's supposed to be, but it's the kind of thing where you laugh in the circus because the clown screwed up.
However, the film has one big plus. He denounces advertising, American mores, politics and economics, and in this respect works like a good dystopia. Only for this I put a pretty good rating, and if not for this component, the film should be evaluated as meaningless low-budget thrash.
