Pointless... But Cool.

Rating: 6/10 (10 July 2005)

This movie is cool: the effect, Fanning's act, and all... however, it's just pointless. Try to put it like this: A bunch of aliens attacking Earth. People run and tried to hide. After some actions and thrilling scenes, the narrator said that "human's weapons couldn't defeat them, but bacteria could" or something like that. Come on, dude, what IS that? If the end is just like that, they definitely don't need a main character! If bacteria is the one that defeats the aliens, then he (Ray) didn't do anything and is NOT the hero! And how could Robbie save from the explosion? How could he SUDDENLY is in his grandma's house in Boston? And why didn't Ray explain it all at once, if he knew his son is a rebel and his daughter is easily frightened? Anyway, he KNEW his daughter is just 10! Create something else, Spielberg. This one's just didn't work.
