Speilber's a genius, Tom's great Katie-less and Dakota will just blow u away (more than the aliens)

Rating: 10/10 (3 July 2005)

I admit, I was a bit afraid of how the movie will turn out, and although my friends at school keep saying, "Dont be afraid that the movie will be bad, just enjoy it!". Considering I'm 15, it does seem a bit much for me to expect more than just senseless watching despite whatever disaster a movie could throw at you. But this one proved me wrong. The start itself was a bit lacking, but almost instantly, your'e put straight into the heart of the action, and then you won't ever give a breath of relief until the credits start rolling. Tom's performance was awesome, even for himself. And the minute you see him, you forget all about Katie (too bad I can't say the same thing for her in the otherwise awesome Batman). But Dakota was even better, she just seems to have pure raw talent for acting, and this one may be her best yet. But the real star of the show is Spielberg. It seems that he can never go wrong with any movie, be it a friendly big-headed alien called E.T. or an army of unstoppable creatures that kill anyone on their path. At the end, it just makes you want to stand up in applause. The special Effect themselves blended in with the dark, scary tone of the movie. Thus creating a pulse-pumping, heart-wrestling effect whenever any extra terrestrial's on screen (which I must warn you is in almost every scene). The action's just relentless! In a great way! Man, this may very well be the best Alien flick I've ever watched (truthfully I ain't the E.T. type). Whatever you hear from the reviews, disregard it and see the movie yourself, cause it certainly wont disappoint. And apparently neither can Spielberg
