Reviews
As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
