Second viewing thoughts (Spoilers)

Initial rating 8/10 Now 6.8/10

I’m sorry, this movie had all the tools to be the best of the franchise but it did not deliver in the magnitude of which we deserve

Why the score drop?

We’re given another emotional drama soooo cliched, we’ve seen this type of survival story in some way or another. And to make a prequel about day one being centered around two people is so asinine. It’s rather boring at points. The lack of world building and military vs alien suspense (just give us 6 more minutes of chaos revealing the aliens feats)

It’s a better movie if you’ve never seen the past two films. But for real fans, can’t buy into it. Dropped the ball. So many better angles they could have taken and they sure as hell could have bumped the budget up to 80 million. Just comes off as lazy and not getting anywhere. Now the 4th installment has to cram everything into it? Ugh

We need a redo on day one from another city or something. Hire Christopher Nolan, JJ Abrams or Danny Boyle
