A brilliant, emotional, frightening, wonderfully acted summer blockbuster! A MUST SEE!!!]

Rating: 8/10 (29 June 2005)

Seriously the best alien-invasion movie i've seen in years! I mean come on the acting was top-notch! Tom Cruise was great and Dakota Fanning was brilliant as usual, gotta love her! After all the crap that has come to theaters this year (except Land of the Dead and House of Wax) for me at least. And as well as the rest of the cast....great! And once the action started it just wouldn't stop! Most of the movie i was at the edge of my seat, a tension i really don't get from movies, not even horror ones lol. The first time the aliens attack that scene was just spectacular! And although the movie was similar to Independence Day, this movie was ten times better. I was even moved by some scenes, and i gotta say i really liked the realistic tone Spielberg gave the movie. The special effects didn't bother me this time too much and i usually hate them! They just (most of the time) looked so real and the rest of the movie was backed up by so good acting and a lot of action and frightening moments that i didn't really care. The aliens were extremely creepy too, well lets face it I've always been scared of alien things...they freak me out! This was an intense, moving, scary alien movie. The best that has come to theaters so far (for me at least).
