Absolutely unnecessary

Rating: 2/10 (29 July 2005)

Better watch the movie from the 50s. Another example of a absolutely unnecessary remake. Boring script and Tom Cruise, stupid conclusion. Spielberg avoided definite nonsense like in "Independence Day" (upload virus), but there is nothing that makes it absorbing to watch that movie in relation to the origin picture. Less tension, stupid explanations (they came within that lightnings, the machines have been there for millions of years). A life form considerably more intelligent that humans start an invasion and do not think of the threat of microorganisms. OK, that was the conclusion in the first movie, but I do not accept this in a movie produced in the early 21th century. Even my 6 year old girl would declare this nonsense.
