A great film with a couple of minor glitches

Rating: 8/10 (3 July 2010)

I first saw this in 2006 I expecting something phenomenal and I got it. The effects in this movie are fantastic, the actors were well picked out and I thought that it was amazing. However, when the aliens attack it leaves all electrical products in the vicinity not working, basically an EMP (electro magnetic pulse) which cuts off all electrical products for about 10mins roughly. Yet, a few short moments later people are taking pictures and videotaping the aliens.
I also saw that Tom Cruise can get through to Boston, Spielberg shows this as him being a normal person doing a few basic survival instincts not as a professionally trained SAS officer. I thought he did this very well. However, how is it that when he gets to Boston the street that his ex-wife lives on is virtually untouched and when Rachels (Dakota Fanning) family walks out the whole family look like there about to go to a restaurant.
On the whole a very good movie with only a couple of minor glitches but I think I would watch this movie many times and still enjoy it.
8/10 go and watch this movie.
