Aliens invade an American populace suddenly reduced to two handguns and a shotgun

Rating: 4/10 (24 June 2007)

and one of the handguns belongs to Tom Cruise who, although just an average schmoe, seems to have a better handle on the situation than anyone else.
I didn't dislike this movie, but it wasn't as good as the previews made it out to be. The special effects were good and the aliens believable, although I'd have thought a civilization that advanced would have figured out a more effective way to eliminate people than giant walking tripods, and maybe would have done a few air and water samples before deciding to move here, but that's just me.
Gore is kept to a minimum, good if you've got kids. I never did figure out what the blood vessel network was all about, and like the poster above, I did wonder how the camcorder was working when nothing else was.
