Not worth a $8 movie ticket

Rating: 4/10 (10 July 2005)

This is a standard run-of-the-mill alien movie. There's no real point to the movie and then it just ends. My wife and I were both not impressed.
The young girl, Dakota Fanning, is excellent once again. Although her character spends the entire 2 hours crying and being scared, it's still an impressive amount of acting.
Rent the movie if you really want to see it. You won't have missed much. I think Steven Spielberg just needs to quit doing alien movies by now. Between this and Artificial Intelligence, he should hopefully get the point.
