Absolutely one of the worse Sci Fi films I have ever seen.

Rating: 2/10 (14 February 2005)

I hate to differ with the other people commenting on this movie but I was starting to wonder if we had watched the same show. I even watched it over completely to make sure I didn't miss anything but it was just a terribly directed movie with unbelievable characters. As much as I like Mel Gibson and I believe he is an outstanding actor he could not save this one. You would think that if the world was about to go to war with a highly advanced alien race that were as horrifying as the ones they showed in the movie the children might have showed some emotion but it was so matter of fact it was hard to feel there was ever any danger. I believe it could have been a better movie with someone else at the wheel and if it weren't for the outstanding cast this would have made Ed Wood look good. I watched this film when it was released to video and everyone that I talked to about it had basically the same opinion, saying they waited thinking the story was about just about to take off and redeem it through the whole movie but it just never happened.
