A Little Slow

Rating: 5/10 (3 August 2002)

I could write a long critique about this movie but it isn`t necessary. The show was a little slow and reminded me of "Encounters of the Third Kind" in that it tries to recapture the mystique of aliens and tries to hide how they actually look. That was okay back in the 70s but after having grown up with Star Trek and Star Wars not to mention a whole lot of other movies that graphically illustrate every kind of alien imaginable I would have to say the mystique is gone for good. Mel Gibson was excellent as always and I found myself laughing at some of the words coming out of the little girl that plays his daughter. Other than that, I found myself yawning a good deal of the time. I`d say wait for video on this one unless you are just too bored to sit at home.
