And for some reason, I enjoyed myself immensely! This movie is objectively bad on so many levels, and as opposed to others I actually understand the relatively low score it's gotten here. But man I had a great time watching, I suppose I'm just a sucker for spectacle, but I was on the edge of my seat, I laughed my ass off several times, and almost cried once or twice. I'm gonna go out on a limb and declare, that this movie is extremely self aware, it knows how ridiculous it is! I don't for a second believe that director Dean Devlin took himself or anybody else seriously when he pulled that RPG out of the trunk, when he set the Kremlin on fire, or when, near the end, his lead character actually utters the words "Hernandez, you son of a b****". There is something pure about a film that just lets itself go like this. It's just a full on, over the top, cliche-ridden, science fiction roller coaster ride, and I didn't hate a single second.
