The Blackout (2019)
1/10
So many absurd plot holes
16 April 2023
Warning: Spoilers
It's hard to even know where to begin.

First, we have a godlike alien who can mentally control entire cities, and have advanced MMA gadgets, and superhuman strength and speed. This near immortal alien is defeated by a kid who tackles him off the top of a building.

Next, we have an entire race of these aliens. Millions of them. Their ship lands on Earth at the end, and the entire race is asleep. Yep. The entire invasion force is asleep in chambers that... get ready for this... have oxygen pumped into them. The humans kill them by cutting their oxygen supply. On Earth. We know they can breath our atmosphere, and a woman kills hundreds of thousands of them by chopping an axe into tubes pumping OXYGEN into their suspension chambers. You know, the stuff that makes up our atmosphere? The same stuff we've already seen them breathing through half the movie? Why were they asleep? Because one of the aliens on earth didn't push the "wake up" button he had on his person. He couldn't press it because an unarmed teenage boy killed him. It almost seems like an advanced godlike alien race capable of interstellar travel might have some kind of automated system to just pop open their suspension chambers when they land on a habitable planet or something.

I have never seen a movie fail so spectacularly on elementary school level problem solving. The people who made this movie were REALLY dumb!
