Watchable but sad

Rating: 5/10 (17 September 2002)

This film could have been much more than the unimaginative generic PC crap that comes out of Hollywood. They do not use the nuke on the invaders until half way through the movie. Is the president slow or what, and the advisor that makes sense gets blasted. Area whatever, the ugly Aliens, Will Smith's stripper girlfriend, and Jeff Goldblum's dad was too sappy. There really was no magic, mystery, and strange science fiction in this film. They could have done a lot better than this. 5/10
