The Forgotten (2004)

IMDB

Bullet points about the movie that contain spoilers, but you probably shouldn't care because the movie pretty much blows.

* Aliens have absolutely no regard for scientific method. They use the term "experiment" very brazenly
* Then again, that may be an earth-centric assumption that presupposes aliens subscribe to our ethics. These experiments could be taking place in four dimensions.
* Like the fourth dimension of suck...
* Like the literal sucking of the only cool effect in the movie.
* But still, I'm disappointed in our new alien overlords, and their callous disregard for the term experiment. Isn't an experiment something in which one watches for observational effects and notes them, and not one where someone manipulates the subject to break their will? Is this the Stanford Alien Experiment?

* And what the heck is going on that the massive airplane hanger that they are in has columns in rows every ten feet or so. Is it like an art installation where buildings are made that cannot be used for their intended purpose? Is this for wingless airplanes with fuselages of less than 10 feet in diameter?
* When the main alien gets rebuked by his superiors, it shows not only that their experiments are bad science, but the administrators are totally harsh.
* "Zardox, one more mishap on the puny human experiment, and we're pulling your license and turning on the sky vacuum."
* Lessons learned from the film: the bond between mother and child is spiritual, unbreakable, and precious, and science is bad. I think the script might have a purpose driven message.
