Good Lord, I hate gimmicky editing, and this piece of visual bric-a-brac is the gimmicky-est I've seen in ages.
We got through the opening, and kinda thought "ok, it'll get better"... Then we saw the interview setups, the needless dips to black and the pointless flashy crap between scenes.
This looks like visual diarrhea, and the story itself is a pointless mess, intercut with various science types saying the same doom and gloom crap ad infinitum.
Independence Day was a smarter film about aliens than "First Contact".
Anyhow, take a pass on this one, it isn't worth your time. We made it to the 3/4 mark and then our constant eyerolling gave us both headaches. Don't make the same mistake we made.
