Allien invasion and destruction!

Rating: 5/10 (7 June 2006)

I was looking forward to see this movie after enjoying Jeff Wayne (with Richard Burton's narration)cd treatment. But I was very disappointed. I read a few comments that did little to change the way I feel about the movie. OK great visual and special effects. But many times in the story these two words were knocking on my mind :"As If!" I would have preferred to see some realistic responses and events appropriate to such a situation, not that there weren't any, just some were anything but. The idea of treating the story revolving around a particular family with their own particular and today trivial situation was rather embarrassing to me as if there was a lack of sense of proportion and priority.
