Dove Review

Try as I might, I found this movie to be completely lacking in redeeming qualities. The humans believe they are ruled by gods and demons, and the Psychlos believe only in themselves. There is a lot of violence, with much destruction, gunfire, and fighting, but no blood. The language is mild with a few expletives here and there, except for one obscenity, but it is so quiet and muffled that is barely audible.

Even though it is not a comedy, the audience laughed its way through most of the movie because it is so ridiculous. I think the point they were trying to make is that greed destroys people, but I’m not sure people will be able to sit through the entire movie to find that out.
