Good beginning, then extremely disappointing

Rating: 3/10 (27 March 2006)

The beginning was OK - light humor, good tension, a real pleasure to watch.
As the time passed, the movie gets worse and worse, forcing one nonsense after the other down the throats of the poor helpless audience.
I know, that it is not necessary for a movie to be logical, but please - it does need a bare minimum at least! Here some of the most obvious goofs/annoyances:
1. Aliens communicating at baby-phone frequencies, so that our heroes can listen to their communication. Even worse, the movie-makers didn't even find it necessary to come up with something that at least sounds good, they are simply playing some random noise in exceedingly long, as well as completely unnecessary scenes.
2. Why the hell did they show themselves in the night (the lights floating above cities), and then decided to hide themselves during the day? Just so that the "dead pigeon" proof can be used? It was not even very original.
3. They get burned by water, and yet they run around completely naked, on a planet, where water is just about *everywhere*.
4. Speaking about naked - they also seem to be un-armed: an alien race, attacking earth, is effectively stopped by a rotten old basement door. Extremely convincing.
5. So, they're on the raid. What the hell did they look for on a farm with 4 poor souls? Were they out for ex-reverends? Old amateur league baseball bats?
6. On the one hand, they can run and jump way faster/higher than normal people can. On the other hand, they seem to be so fragile, that one weak strike with a knife can instantly cut their fingers off.
7. Why did the aliens go away? No explanation. Why, exactly, did they come? No explanation.
I could go on and on, but I guess you get my point.
The whole flick serves only one purpose: it's a religious propaganda movie, with the ending so predictable ("the fallen reverent finds his faith again") that it makes one sick in the stomach.
Rubish, rubbish, rubbish - I wasted 2 hours of my life.
