Plagiarism Obvious...

Rating: 1/10 (10 May 2010)

I'm very disappointed that a whole world full of educated people can create such hype around a movie that is so clearly plagiarised from the War of the Worlds! It couldn't possibly only have been me who saw that the first half of the movie was a direct copy: starting with the bedraggled father, picking up his two children (with whom he has a strained relationship) from his ex-wife and her partner (and both children obviously get on better with the new 'dad'), going through the first signs of looming disaster - storms, etc. Then, to top it - of course the father reconciles with his son...
How can such a great name in movie business with a good cast underestimate the intelligence of his audience in such a blatant way!
