A Good Science Fiction Compared to 1999's Version

Rating: 8/10 (17 May 2014)

This is definitely a better version in term of everything, except that it is presented in a serious tone from the beginning till the end. It might not as epic as 1954's version, but it has successfully made Emmerich's version back in 1999, which has a silly monster looking like a chicken little running across a city. Director Edwards has implemented the film brilliantly with excellent scientific theories, which requires audiences to pay close attention to conversations, characters development, outstanding CGIs, stunning visual effects which is on par with destruction as per in 2012, as well as powerful scores and cinematography efforts. The film has turned into an entertaining adventure which brings a strong message that human is not intelligent enough to control the nature and creations of God.
