Awesome sci-fi film!

Rating: 7/10 (10 May 2002)

To this day, I'm still amazed how well this film did over seas. While the action genre tends to bore me, this was a film that actually delivered some of its promises. Will smith was annoying in some parts, but that's what you get when you hire a guy for his over acting. The special effects wee excellent, and the detail placed in the alien's attire, spaceships etc. was exceptional, considering the art department could have tanked in this category. Fun film all around, and the alternate ending on the DVD is hilarious. It makes you glad that focus groups can be good for something.
