Terrible

Rating: 1/10 (23 November 2005)

What a total letdown! In my opinion, the only really good part was when the aliens finally got that mouthy brat! Too bad she and her moronic brother survived. And what about all that politically correct "parenting" in the middle of the apparent destruction of mankind? Ridiculous! Completely unrealistic civilian crowd reactions during action scenes - running TOWARD the most violent confrontations etc. Absolute junk! This movie put me in mind of David Lynch's "Dune". Completely missed the opportunity to make an exceptional film, opting instead for a tedious piece of drivel! Tom Cruise seemed to be playing himself as he actually is - an ignorant, opinionated, untalented, white trash punk! Cordially, JP
