Decent, could have been better

Rating: 6/10 (7 July 2005)

There were things about this film that I really liked and some things that I didn't...
The tension was great... The opening destruction sequence from the machines was very satisfying as far as I am concerned.
The acting was actually pretty good, the drama was believable and had me at parts.
The only thing about this film is that same old problem that Hollywood has now, with a lot of films... the fact was that it was not very well planned out. too much didn't make any sense.
#1 All of the electronic devices do NOT work but right after this is presented to us... we find that some of them do. I was a little confused.
#2 a lot of humans are easily dispatched while some are not
#3 The family at the end of the film not even hurt! as if the whole war was not even going on in the first place!!
little nit picks like this DID NOT in any way hurt my enjoyment of the picture but made me think that a little more time could have been taken..
Maybe film makers should concentrate on the project at hand and make a good film instead of juggling five projects at once and hoping for the best.
