    This is the trailer. I must confess... it has promise. It could be really good. Or terrible. ...But there's an Iowa-class battleship firing a broadside in this movie, or so it seems. For me, that alone will be worth the ticket.

    I think this is a step up from Segal's movies (which isn't saying much in and of itself). But we'll see.

    Liam Neeson is in this, so it must have some redeeming potential.

    They couldn't afford the special effects required to prevent him from roundhouse kicking the CGI alien ships in the face and ending the movie in the first five minutes.

    It's *not* directed by Michael Bay. That alone means it has some potential.

    Chuck Norris would make the movie 10 minutes long.
