good beginning great middle lousy ending

Rating: 7/10 (19 July 2005)

The movie seems to have it all great casting great plot great cgi. But the movie lacks something. If you notice when the movies starts out in Brooklyn (it is brooklyn right?) it is obviously winter because of the steam coming out of peoples mouths when they talk. But when they get to boston it is obviously autumn because of the tons of leaves on the ground. This proves either they took a year to get to boston from the hudson river because thats where their car got taken or Steven Spielberg was rushing. The movie also after the basement scene started to move really quickly and start to explain less. Like how did robbie live? How did the soldiers destroy the tripod in boston? The movie was too long in the basement is the only explanation.
