Inconsistencies make this movie awful (SPOILERS)

Rating: 3/10 (30 June 2005)

First of, I have to admit I was impressed by the special effects of this movie. But, unfortunately, that's about the only positive aspect of the movie. The inconsistencies throughout the movie are too gross and painful to ignore. It starts with the big EMP in NY. Everything electrical brakes down, but yet some guy is filming the event with a digital camera? How can those machines be buried all over the place for millions of years without people finding them? Even with subways etc. ? Why didn't the aliens just occupy earth then? Why plan an invasion for millions of years to let it fail? If microorganisms on earth kill 'them', why is there a scene in the basement where 3 of 'them' crawl around without being hurt at all? All these inconsistencies (and many, many more) make the flick awkward to watch. Besides, I think the story is awfully dull. I'm sorry. I hated this movie and can advise anyone NOT to go see this.
