It wasn't that bad....

Rating: 6/10 (3 May 2006)

I watched the movie this afternoon and other than the usual action film b.s. it is not that bad.
I didn't like how people were videotaping the aliens, yet all the electricity had been fried. I didn't (once again) like how the "heroes" of the story were constantly just-missing their doom.
But, there were some good points. 1. I like the idea that only people and animals from earth can live on earth and that the earth; itself, is what killed the aliens. 2. The family aspect of the story is a bit predictable, but there are other examples of coming together. The blood bank was a nice addition and people helping others is always good. 3. From a political and social standout, the movie has a message. the message; I believe, is that we must not worry about martians and aliens invading our planet. Instead, we must come together and fight for the ultimate good.
Anybody care to try?
