Nothing is impossible when love motivates you

Rating: 8/10 (16 March 2010)

Ray Ferrier (Tom Cruise) does not seem the best folks. Has two sons, a teenager named Robbie with whom he has already a certain degree of confrontation, and a small, vivacious blonde named Rachel (a wise Dakota Fanning), which fills nearly every corner of your heart. But Ray is separated and only sees his children on weekends, time in which he makes every effort to brighten the time, though not always succeed.
During the last visit of the boys to his apartment, an unusual and surprising fact external, will mark their lives and give them the opportunity to experience many things. Suddenly, a whole extraterrestrial spacecraft command sprout from the earth and massive attack takes place, sowing panic as in their action disintegrate or kidnapped dozens of people.
Steven Spielberg, always accessing the latest in special effects, achieves a surprising realism to create a chaotic situation like that which cause an earthquake. Sets that account for the horrendous destruction, powerful mass management, lighting and contrasting Gothic effective camera movement... and the always effective John Williams scores of unique, creates an environment that impacts deeply and, shortly, introduces us stage to share the drama of the Ferrier family.
Thematically, we see the exercise of a father who, although somewhat comfortable with the daily routine of existence, suddenly, being under pressure, removes a huge resilience and an appreciation for their children that we never before recognized. Life, in its exemplary wisdom, is responsible for showing the performance of others and this insurance as lectures and reveals the way of consistency. For those who have children like Ray - I also have a boy and a girl - very easy We connect it with their adventures and that unconditional surrender to protect. Personally, I felt that the film goes beyond the visual - effective up to where you want - and beyond with premium content where solidarity and resistance before the attack.In fact, the military look so distant and ineffective as in the real and gruesome episode 11-09-01.
And for this very reason that, if a bit abrupt, way to conclude the story is unusual but not incredible Therefore, if you still believe that the security of your country is in charge of government and security forces still lack a bit for you know who is really in charge.
