"Save your money "

Rating: 5/10 (15 July 2005)

Being a fan of the sci-fi/horror genre & Spielberg I found this film to be over-rated & disappointing! Although it was true to the original story there was nothing spectacular about the fx effects or the acting here. Cruise stumbles around in awe of the total destruction from above as he tries save his family from the same,(ho-hum),which detracted from the excitement & action of the movie. Nothing frightening or disturbing about the scenes either in my opinion unlike "Jaws" which was more enjoyable & actually held your attention. With the reputation Spielberg has & all the millions spent he spent on this...I expected more! "Independance Day" was a better alien invasion movie & more fun to watch!
