Disappointing state-of-the-art cinema!

Rating: 3/10 (24 November 2005)

I have always liked Spielberg's movies because they have always been hi quality productions, mostly. But I think he's lost the feeling... Spielberg has become a lazy director who make movies for a non-thinking audience. What he lacks is the details and depth in his stories and good acting performances.
I think the special effects were nicely made and I also felt that some of the scenes were quite strong for a Spielberg movie. I think of the fleeing people who get caught in the heat beams and vanishes. That was pretty strong I think. But the strongest scene in the whole movie in my opinion was when Rachel see the dead floating people in the river. That shot was not like Spielberg, that was brilliant stuff. Scary..
Otherwise this movie is way too short and it would have been better if it was half an hour longer. It felt way too rushed, too many questions left unanswered by the end of the movie. And do we need this laughable happy ending too? The world is burning up with millions of people been slaughtered and blood spurting all over the places, and what do we see at the end? Clean, well dressed-up grand-parents welcoming the hero and son-in-law. And the son can look at his father with great respect, he has proved that he's a real man. Outrageously bad!!! This movie is really not worth its price and I'm glad I downloaded it!
