had me at the edge of my seat

Rating: 9/10 (3 July 2005)

I consider myself jaded where movies are concerned. I have seen so many that almost nothing elicits an emotional response out of me. This movie, for lack of better words, scared the crap out of me. For the first time since Signs, i was afraid for the main characters.
The movie starts out with Ray Farrier, a crappy dad, having his kids dropped off for the weekend. Soon a storm starts and a whole lot of very fantastically done and faithful to the book aliens start invading. Throughout the movie, we follow Ray,and we never see what he doesn't. This for me added to the realistic feel of the film.
The only gripe i have is that once the wow factor wears off, you are left with some glaring plot holes. But don't think about it too much and just enjoy the show.
