am i missing something?this movie is just plain bad!

Rating: Null/10 (11 August 2002)

I saw this movie and could not believe the reviews! I thought-were they paid off?Does the emperor have no clothes? Anyway,the script,the script the script! Ouch! The characters in this movie would never act the way they did or say the things they did. Mel Gibson is in a crop circle and suddenly says"I can't hear my children! And then goes running. First of all,why would he be able to hear his children when they are more than 100 yards away! Are they such screaming brats that they are constantly making noise? And what's with the kid doing the"this will be the end of science fiction as we know it speech"-before he pops in the video tape? Kids don't talk like this. And if aliens were outside your house-wouldn't you leave? Duh! I really thought this movie was insipid beyond belief. Jurassic Park's script was dumb too,but at least it was saved by the dinos...this whole movie was "alien" to me. What is most frightening about it,is that it got such good reviews and people apparently are liking it. Perhaps I am the alien!
