Possibly the most frustrating film EVER

Rating: 6/10 (5 July 2007)

The most frustrating film I've seen in a long time. Why? Because it was actually pretty good, for the most part. It seemed like a great story following just a normal guy and his family trying to survive and escape the alien invasion. He wasn't the big hero. He didn't figure out how to kill the aliens. He wasn't the president or some military guy who led the attack. Just a normal guy. I think this makes a great companion piece to Independence Day (which I watched the next day), whereas that told the story of the heroes and those discovering how to bring the aliens down, this one told the story of the everyman trying to survive. Unfortunately, this movie drops the ball with the single least satisfying ending of all time. It just.... ends. So suddenly, so stupidly, so frustratingly, that it killed my whole opinion of the movie. Too bad...
