What I'm Watching: Extinction
Extraordinarily dull first 20 minutes of a working stiff having bad dreams of war against space invaders. Then a pretty solid chase/urban combat arc. Then the plot flips, which I did not see coming, a rare pleasure.
Go watch this on Netflix and come back so we can talk about it.
SPOILERS: Please see the movie first. So copy this text and view it in advanced rot13 encryption

But the reveal and resolution is great, this is a perfectly fine actual-science fiction movie.
