Roland Emmerich emphasized its lightness, lively action. A plus is the wider age range of viewers. Since the picture has a minimum of scenes of violence or blood, and the daughter of the main character is a 13-year-old teenager. But at the same time, almost all critics note the discrepancy between the budget of the film and the final result, which does not justify such costs.
