Notice I didn't say "enjoy" the ride... I just stop being very critical because at a certain point I stop having the energy to log all the stupidity unless I'm offended enough to yell at the tv. It's boring of me but I agree with basically everything you said. Especially your neutral point, I just wish they'd done some fast news cuts of the world settling back into its usual bloody cycle, rather than the Russian diplomat's goofy voiceover summary. And Veronica Cartwright! She's a fucking jewel, right? Only Shelley Duvall even approaches her in the watery, bug-eyed unbridled terror department. Overall I give it a Meh - This is why I’d make an awful movie critic- once I establish that a film is mediocre, (which was fairly early with this one) but not utterly repugnant, I tend to suspend disbelief and just sit back for the ride.

She (Nicole, not her character portrayal)just doesn't have the stones for this kind of thing. I was immensely disappointed in her portrayal of the character in Golden Compass for the same reason. She's just, how do I say this in PC terms, too frellin' girly-girl in her own mind to play someone with cajonés grandés. I don't mean she must literally have a scrotum, only that this type of character needs the males-start-wars-so-that-humans-won't-suffer gene. IMHFO.
