I initially had no desire to see this movie - the trailer was horrible, with pretty much everything (acting, plot, etc) looking relatively terrible. What, you may ask, would change my mind? Two producers where I work independently told me that it was worth seeing simply for the VFX. That it had the most amazing effects they had ever seen ever. And then proceeded to support it and defend it as if their lives depended on it. Well then, based on that fiery reaction to my unfounded opinions I immediately put it first in my Netflix queue and watched it the night it arrived.
Imagine my disappointment when the movie still sucked. But I didn't tell them that, and if it ever gets brought up again I will resist getting pulled into what has the potential of turning into a violent conflict of opinions and instead go get a cookie.
ADDENDUM: I will admit that the puppy-alien creature was super cute, and some of the CGI characters were really quite well done.
