Tom Cruise was the best part about this movie

Rating: 4/10 (29 June 2005)

Yes, Tom Cruise, strangely enough, was the least offensive part of this movie. He played a realistic, halfway decent, halfway intelligent character. Unfortunately, he was surrounded by ridiculously stupid and awful people in a ridiculously stupid and cynical movie. There's Cruise's kid in the movie, one minute he's a protective brother, the next minute he abandons and endangers his sister just because he wants to see aliens go boom. Then there's Tim Robbins as the random pedophile. And who exactly are endangering these wonderful examples of humanity? Vampiric aliensAliens that suck and spew blood. H.R. Giger could crap turds that make more plausible as extra terrestrials. Don't avoid this movie because of Tom Cruise, avoid it because of everything else.
