A Superb Alien Film

Rating: 9/10 (3 July 2005)

I recently saw another take on this movie, starring some actors you've never heard of and the special effects in that one contained little violence that was believable. This film, however, seeing last Thursday, was excellent. It was very violent, indeed, for a PG-13 film. I think Steven Spielberg really preferred it to be PG-13 because a lot of young 13-15 year old boys are dying to see a movie about aliens. I was glad when I found out that Steven Spielberg was directing this film because his other alien films were spectacular. And, finally, like in his other ones, you get close-ups on what the aliens look like. In the movie, Signs, you rarely saw the alien's anything. This one shows a lot of aliens and even a scene where they're playing with a bicycle wheel. Anyway, Tom Cruise was good, but Dakota Fanning--GEEZ! She's in every movie you see nowadays, am I right? She's been in fourteen films now! In four years! But even that didn't stop from enjoying this film, which has humor, violence, tragedy, and an awesome beginning, middle, and end. Everyone should see this film. Well, whoever is a fan of bloody violence.
