This movie REALLY sucked.

Rating: 1/10 (6 July 2005)

There is not cohesive plot. Tom Cruise's character is a moron with no redemption value at all as a human being. The teenage son is annoying as hell, e.g., he "must see" what's going on behind the hill with the army battling the aliens. Idiot kid! Death is happening behind the hills, if you had any common sense you flee the other way. Dakota Fanning manage to pierce both my ear drums with her incessant screaming.
Really annoy plot holes: A plane crashes over them and levels everything in the neighborhood...yet their convenient get-away mini van doesn't have a scratch on it... not only that, the random crash leaves a nice clear path for them to drive away. Additionally, some how the aliens were so wise as to bury their mega-death tripod killing machines in all the urban centers. How the hell did they know where the cities would be built on? REFUND PLEASE!
