But sadly that's the ways movies seem to go these days. I feel it could've bettered from a non-PG-13 rating. All in all, a decent and fun alien/monster adventure film.
Perhaps one or two too many jokes, and again the writing is far from great, but the film does acknowledge what it is whilst still providing some emotional stakes. But Pratt delivers and the cast is still fun. The story isn't all that deep or thorough, and the characters could use work. Pratt is excellent and continues prove to be an actor who feels like he's in the wrong era, the perfect 80's and 90's leading man.
The aliens have a nice design, and are perfect for the summer blockbuster style. However, what is of course the best part of the film and it's main selling point: killer aliens and Chris Pratt. It has a great cast, cool yet admittedly wack concept, fun set pieces and a nice soundtrack. As some critics have pointed out, it feels very 90's.
