Do not Watch It if you did not read the book

Rating: 3/10 (12 August 2005)

This movie and Jurassic Park are the worst movies produced by Steven Spielberg. I could not understand what Jurassic Park is all about and I also can not understand what this movie is about. After watching the movie, I have read the book which answered my questions. For example, after seeing the movie I could only guess that the Earth viruses killed the aliens. Why guess if it should have been obviously shown!? The foundation of the movie is kinda of tricky. The alien planned the attack for million of years and yet aliens failed to make proper vaccination or proper protection or proper treatment of the "meal". What an absurd! May be the story is too old or is it a bad remake? If the attack would be planned for 10 years or so I would may be understand but the narrator tells in the movie aliens were planning the attack the same number of years as the history of evolution (the so-said twice "millions of years").
Tom Cruise and Dakota Fanning both have very strong real life characters and they both play or have to play very week movie characters. So, they do not fit in these roles. Really bad choice of the actors.
I must say that this movie is a little better than the "Signs - 2002" with Mel Gibson which was a total waste of my money. In comparison, this movie have some actions and we do not have to watch the Gibsons' boredom of sitting in his four walls.
