A "Blackout" that can be avoided
4 October 2023
I saw a short on this and thought "Blackout: Invasion Earth" looked like something worth watching. Unfortunately, sitting through the full length movie wasn't worth the effort.
Biggest issue:
While the basic idea of the story was interesting, the writing / plot development was very poor. For example, why did the alien want to help humanity? What did he stand to gain? What happened to him to make him want to betray his entire civilisation?
Other issues:
- I would have been happy to read subtitles, but could only find the English dubbed version which wasn't great.
- The movie was far too long. Could easily have removed 20 - 30 mins of the final cut.
All in all, the final product was disappointing. A real shame, as it had the potential to bring a a slightly new take on a traditionally well represented genre.
There are two options if you haven't seen "Blackout: Invasion Earth", note that both options involve not watching the full length movie: 1. Only watch the trailer and imagine what a great movie it could be (you're own imagination will deliver a far superior storyline).
2. Get your cheesy sci-fi fix from rewatching "Independence Day".
