Two words... ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE

Rating: 9/10 (5 July 2005)

This movie was incredible. I definitely got scared. It's the little things that get to you. Things like lightning without thunder and trees moving without wind... spooky. I really liked. Spielberg used amazing special effects. The aliens are completely believable. I have never seen graphics like this in my life. The reason this movie is a 9 instead of a 10 is that Rachel (the little girl) screams entirely too much. Half the movie I felt like telling her, "If you just stop yelling, the aliens won't see you." Anyway, Tom Cruise did an excellent job in this roll. He captured the film. The thing that outdid all the rest, though, was the music. Without the score, this movie wouldn't have been half as creepy. The silences are actually what brought the horror out. I don't recommend taking anyone under 10 to this movie.
