Hollywood-Blockbuster?!? Waste of TIME!!

Rating: 1/10 (13 February 2006)

I saw this movie last weekend and when it was finished I was nearly shocked. What the hell was that?!? There is an all-time-annoying Dakota Fanning: Every time 'anything' happens she starts her nerve-wracking screams. The latest at the middle of the movie you only wish to shut her up. Then there is the completely needless son : Why is he in the movie? I really hoped that he dies in his try to fight the aliens. But as in nearly all predictable, bad blockbuster-movies there HAD TO BE a happy end, so he'd survived (what a wonder he made it *rolleyes*). Next bad thing for me in the movie was the horrible plot : nah .. it's just horrible. Dunno what to say. Just take the death of the intruders for example. No real explanation, no nothing. Just bad.Last but not least a weak Tom Cruise. Well okay .. Cruise wasn't that bad, but he still didn't made it to the top like in "Last Samurai" or "Collateral". He adjusted to the rest. Only the special effects are worth a closer look. But would you spend your money on a movie just to see the special effects and give a **** on the story or the cast? Don't think so .. that's why i give it such a bad ranking.
