Biology Saves the Earth

Rating: 8/10 (2 July 2005)

I loved this movie up until the end. First off it happened out of no where. What was the point of Tom Cruise pointing out the birds flying around the ships? I realize this was in the original story, but so what...these beings have the science to travel light years to Earth and defeat us without a problem but they forget to get vaccinated before traveling abroad??? Advance parties didn't catch this germ(s)? The planning for such an attack would have considered an alien world having alien germs. Maybe this wasn't thought out when HG did it originally, but maybe this should have been thought of now. Have earth use it as a defense by contaminating them. The door is open...
