I need to vent how much I loathed this movie.

This is the movie equivalent of braindead sockpuppet theater on a shoestring you'll try to hang yourself with. The plot runs a course a 4 year old can anticipate but won't due to its life-debilitating visuals.

Perhaps it's homage or fromage for 1995 CG, but hair ain't that big of a deal anymore, nor cloth simulation, but then again, you need professionals to get the right look happening.

Both in design and in performance, the characters were atrociously mediocre; ET eyes on a pinheaded spermazoid, come'on, digital tutors rejects could do better. And why 'floaters', except that animating walking creatures would have been way more labor intensive.. but that didn't stop our heroine from plummeting to the ground, maybe that's how her father winded up in a floating wheel(less)chair.

To sum it up, it takes a flaming liberal to cast humanity in the invading alien role of a soulless, cliché-festering b-movie for the gratuitous exoneration some 70 arduous minutes later. But it takes a village of sycophants to lend their voices to it.
