Somewhat Disappointing

Rating: Null/10 (12 July 2003)

I did not watch this movie because I love SCARY movies. I could care less about "SCARY" movies. I watched this hoping that it would be a great extra-terrestrial story. It wasn't. Why do aliens almost always have to be UGLY and ready to KILL or EAT you??? Where do we get it that aliens must be some horrible dreadful being? The only "good alien" I've seen in the movies is "E.T.-The Extra-Terrestrial" and that was more of a comedy and not a real serious story about aliens.
Due to all the television and movie hype, keeping us scared to death of aliens, if we ever were face to face with them, we would kill them all before finding out if they're friend or foe!
One of the things I did like about the film was that Graham Hess (Gibson) lost his faith after his wife died and at the end of the film his faith is restored. Also the movie IS quite different than most movies on this subject.
