Hua-Tao Teng's “SHANGHAI FORTRESS”

Movie review by Dennis D. McDonald

My 19 month old granddaughter might be entertained for 5 minutes. I lasted ten. This is just plain awful. The mix of warmed over alien invasion + starship troopers + independence day + mediocre special effects + uniformed actors standing around talking + hackneyed storyline is too much to bear. The only saving grace is that we don't have to watch in detail as major US or European cities are obliterated by the aliens. You've been warned.
