The main storyline deals with a girl trying to find her mommy.

Rating: 1/10 (31 July 2005)

At the beginning of the movie, it was okay but then it went downhill. Before the aliens came the movie was about this family and then the aliens came and they looked liked giant cameras with wires sticking out on a tripod. then they amazingly got a car that actually worked when no other car worked which was unrealistic. The girl was obnoxious, she would not shut up and only wanted her mommy, she was okay at the beginning before the aliens came because she was not a screaming idiot. as soon as they got to the moms house she was not there and the next day there was a plane crash and they did not hear it or feel it which is could not happen and then the rest of the movie was focused on the girl getting to her mommy(what a bore). I've watched other movies directed by Steven Speilburg and he made the aliens act like the dinosaurs in Jurassic park which was more realistic than this crap because the dinosaurs had a reason called instincts, aliens are supposed to be smarter than us considering they built those suits and would have a reason to exterminate us and would have done there research and find that bacteria could kill them. other unrealistic things about this movie is that Robbie wants to all of a sudden join the army twice even though he never mentions it before in the movie.When Robbie joined the military he survived a massive explosion which no one could have survived, another thing that could not happen is that when one guy got sucked into the machine from the big metal basket no one care but when the main character got in everyone tried to get him out but did'not care about the other guy, other scenes like these happen in the movie which make some people ask themselves that watch the movie why were those people the only ones that lived through everything and the military.The ending was happy and it showed the girl running to her mommy which was what the movie was based on and they show Robbie miraculously still alive and surprisingly once they get to Boston all the aliens die at once which if there was that many aliens it would take years for them all to die off. don't spend your money on this junk, go see batman begins or Charlie and the chocolate factory.
