Nice mix of drama, humor, and science fiction

Rating: 8/10 (31 August 2002)

I wasn't sure what to expect with this movie other than I knew it was a very popular movie and it had something to do with crop circles. I really enjoyed how well the movie blended humor with suspense and the science fiction aspects. Plus, the ending had a nice salute to the War of the World from the 1950's. I've always felt that after a movie was over, if you said to yourself, gee that didn't seem like nearly two hours, then the movie worked and worked well. That's the feeling I had with this movie. If you like movies that are a little different than the normal fare, this is the one for you.
