Mars Attacks!

CriticsCritics: 55
AudienceAudience: 6.2

When Martian spacecraft gather above major cities, people wait to learn whether the visitors truly come in peace. A reassuring scientist backs the government’s hopes for a friendly encounter, but a disastrous first exchange leaves leaders divided over how to respond as the invasion threatens humanity.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like oddball alien-invasion spoofs, gleeful dark humor, and over-the-top chaos; Not for you if you want a focused story, deep character development, or gentle comedy.
