At one point, when Jack finds his father, he finds out that from his father's perspective, he's only been there 19 days, even though on Earth he's been gone for 19 years. Oh, and this probably isn't a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but its the kind of poor attention to detail that I always notice and instantly dislike. This obvious missed opportunity to transcend the bounds of crappy knockoffs into blissful madness is perhaps the film's greatest flaw. I can't begin to express just how much I would have preferred this movie to be all about fairy tale giants fighting regular sized humans in mech robots. It never comes up at all throughout the story and in its lazy execution almost feels like an insulting jab at the over the top craziness of these movies. In the beginning we just see him building this thing out of junk for no reason for like five minutes, and then in the last five minutes, he just suddenly remembers that he has a giant robot made of junk that might help in their hour of need. The problem is, this element is both an incredibly minor part of the overall story, and is wedged in with no context or explanation whatsoever for its inclusion.

Specifically, the movie starts with Jack riding a giant mech robot and fighting a dinosaur. When this movie started, I had the meekest reason to hope that it might turn out to be one of those rare gems in the mockbuster canon that understands the insanity inherent to its existence and embraces it for all its worth.
