We were LOVING this movie despite the generic political undertone. You know big corporate is evil and greedy & the military are gun happy morons. However, during the last third of the movie the direct references to Bush like the evil, texas accent marine saying "Shock & Awe" just pushed my buttons a little too much. I loved the special effects and the love story. I just wish that hollywood could leave their political agendas out of the movies. I just want to be entertained.
