Also controversial (now to the weird sides)

Rating: 9/10 (30 June 2005)

I wonder why Steven would encourage the film watchers in this particular film to think about 9/11. Its stupid and has nothing to do with the actual film theme.
9/11 is based on many stories and proofs, but of course in the end the fact was that many people died (as if any other countries are not suffering). In the film Cruise's daughter asks "are they the terrorists?" so naive and stupid and makes you wonder what type of education the children are getting in USA?! It doesn't end with that; the son asks as well " where are they from then, Europe?" After Cruise's respond to his daughter that they've not been attacked by the terrorists! Its unbelievable, as if the terrorists only attacks from abroad! But don't worry the entire cinema room was having a laugh when that scene appeared because of its silliness.
Also the urge, of Cruise's son, to fight! So similar to a propaganda for the military services in America (perhaps taking a trip to Iraq is wise?). Its so ridiculous! The film would've got a better story at least if one family member died of Cruises! All of them stayed alive, which was very very lame! A happy ending to an extermination story is unlikely believable. But overall as I were saying, the special effects are worth to watch, thats all. but the story, please, you can find so many errors in one go! thats what you get from an Alien story anyways, what would the film watchers expect, a realistic dramatic story; no! Although the film surrounds a hell of a drama and tears!
Why shouldn't this happen (if you cut the Aliens away)? if someone made a film about something real, a natural disaster, judgement day etc, that would've scared people off their life, and that would've made a more successive and perhaps a different way of viewing life.
Once again, only the special effects are worth the going! Ignore the controversial bits, they're pointless.
