i do not intend to write a comment on this movie and but when i look at the comment that be here and i be totally shocked to find so many people say the movie be great . i have to post this comment in an effort to balance thing out just a little . i can only hope that it some huge and elaborate practical joke that all these positive comment have be post . now and i must admit that i miss the first few minute of the movie . perhaps that would have make a difference . but i really do not think it would . i come in at a point early on and where anthony edward be about to get some sleep and after which the power go out and he wake up late . whatever happen before that may have be the most terrific piece of filmmaking ever and and maybe by miss that i miss the true greatness of the movie . but i highly doubt it . where i come in be and i believe and where the plot really start . and i understood who be who quite well enough . the movie be a little odd and and quirky right from the start ( where i come in and ) but not so odd that i couldn not stick with it . i stay with the movie just because the concept of the movie be intrigue enough to keep me watch . but a the movie progress it get weirder and weirder and and the writing get dumber and dumber . i finally reach the point of no return and where you finish the movie not because youre enjoy it and but because you have already invest so much time in it that you figure you might as well finish it off . the movie get increasingly bad all the way to the end . the character do some of the most infuriatingly stupid thing that i think i have ever see . and i do mean stupid . i want to say the acting be bad and but look back i do not know that that true . i think the primary actor be put a lot into it and but the character be so ridiculous and it make it seem that the acting be bad . plus there be not enough character development to make some of the situation seem as natural a they maybe could have . so if i have to point to one thing a the reason this movie stink and it would be the writing . it be totally moronic . the acting by the primary star wasn not the bad i have ever see and but it wasn not great . the acting by every one else . well and let just say it wasn not good . i do not know if the movie be cheap to make and but i really hope it be and because it really look it . the movie be just all around bad . battlefield earth would be able to stand next to this one and hold it head up high . and battlefield earth be rotten . again and i can only pray that all these positive comment about this movie be part of some huge prank . the only other way i can imagine that all the positive remark get here be that the director of the movie be now unemployed and have all day to write and post new one . perhaps to trick people into buy the movie and so he can get some money for food . but let me end by warn all who have not see the movie and but have read all the positive comment and be consider buy it represent please and for your own sake and do not buy miracle mile . if you feel you must see it and rent it first . or heck and wait for it to play on television while if you have to wait forever and you would not be miss anything . trust me .
