Those ships and a Black Man saves the world!

Rating: 9/10 (10 January 2005)

Whoooo--and it helped they had one of my fave actors to watch anytime--Brent Spiner! This film rocks from start to finish, doesn't lag, scares in some spots, saddens in others. It has the feel not so much as a sci-fic film as as a disaster flick from the early to mid seventies so I suspended many of the improbablilities (like some nuke fallout ruining the landscape)--Who cares. I walked away from this feeling good! This film made me a Will Smith fan--in the Sci fi genre he's third behind the above mentioned Spiner, behind Spiner is Bill Pullman (also became a fan of his watching this film). I've never watched "Fresh Prince of Bel Air", didn't care for Will Smith's singing. This film made me sit up and take notice of him.
His Character popping the Alien: Welcome to Earth! Welcome a fan!
