Dragon Day

The preposterous premise of "Dragon Day," also known as "Invasion Day," is that the United States owes so much money to China that the Chinese just decide to invade.

By secretly placing malicious code into every electronic product manufactured in China, it effectively shuts down all communication, transportation, banking, etc.

What would China have to gain by coming into our country and ruining it, virtually guaranteeing we'd never be able to pay them back?

Now, because this movie cost less than your sofa to make, we aren't supposed to ask questions like that.

Actually, we don't see this invasion play out on the world stage at all.

No joke, this entire movie is about how the invasion of the United States by the People's Republic of China affects one guy and his family in their Oregon vacation home.

They get assaulted by hillbillies! They get threatened by cops! They run out of Coca-Cola!

Check it: There's one Chinese guy in this whole movie, and ironically he never meets this family.

One time, two starving kids knock on the door, and they each get handed a potato. That's it. You never see those kids again.

You'll just be going, "Wait, what?" at every turn of the plot, but you won't be able to take your eyes off it. This movie is like that weirdo bag lady who gets on the subway talking to herself, and your mom says, "Don't stare!" But you do. Because you can't not.

I have never given such a low rating before, but this movie had no redeeming factors and it therefore deserved such a dubious distinction.

The acting was complete cardboard with most of the time my wishing the main characters would get killed off since they were so annoying. To add to the distaste, the characters simply weren't believable either.

Add to that an extremely poor plot with more holes than my grandfather's underwear, with a great big dollop of the incredulity bred of a hundred plot points where you yourself could think your way out of it or it simply wasn't feasible, and you honestly have a sincere waste of time.

Rarely do I not see a film through to the end, and I watch a lot. This was awful.

The acting was very bad which is sad as the story line had promise. It was different and potentially possible. It wasn't just one bad actor but pretty much all of them. The only partially decent actors were the daughter and sister but they had small parts.

Can't give it more than 1. I skipped through to the end to see how it ended as I hate not knowing! If you are buying it to watch....save your money. If you have nothing better to do and it's free then maybe with a couple of beers you won't notice!

This film was so bad even it could not achieve the greatness of, say, Plan 9 from Outer Space. The acting was wooden, the storyline was ridiculously unrealistic and yet it did show the extent to which America relies on the country it currently vilifies. This is a film that, consciously or not, will contribute to intensified international tensions because it appeals against rationality in favour of scapegoats identified via a naive and childish prejudice. Watch it, but pay no attention to it.

The movie is total disaster. Do not waste your time.
