Could have been much better!

Rating: 3/10 (2 January 2006)

Aliens killed by microbes? Why didn't the microbes do their job when the aliens first buried those machines? Certainly it took longer to put those gadgets under ground than it took to uncover them and zap the world for a few hours. Not bad special effects. But they should have taken out the spoiled son's role. Tom's dialogue is poorly written and at times it seems he really is more concerned about peanut butter or sleeping in the basement when the aliens were only a few feet away. The daughter's high-pitched screaming could have called all the dogs near any movie theater and she should have been quieted down a point or two. Robbins part and his silly idea of attacking the aliens with an axe should have been deleted. Also they should have stuck to the original plot that dealt only with the aliens gobbling up the world. THEN it would have been a great movie.
