Just another Sci-Fi movie with the same plot as every one before it...

Rating: Null/10 (19 November 2002)

I went and saw this movie in the theater and I was expecting another great movie with Mel Gibson (one of my favorites) and what I got was a joke of a movie with a great Mel Gibson performance. I was very impressed with the layout of the film, the main characters were cast well, and the sound fx were great. BUT, and call me simple minded if you wish, I felt like I was watching Independence Day, or any other generic Sci-Fi movie... Everything from the Crop circles functioning as a way for the aliens to achieve global communication (just like the satellites in I.D) to the reason the aliens were there being to drain us of our natural resources (I.D. again, amongst several other sci-fis,) the whole movie was just another hack at a good sci-fi, with the same "Aliens are coming to destroy us and our resources" plot line, with a less acceptable ending. If you have already seen a few other sci-fi thrillers, don't bother with this movie, it's not worth your time, or your dollar at the rental store.
