What's The Point?

Rating: 1/10 (2 July 2005)

WOW, now this movie sucked
I am starting to realize that movies are getting worse and worse, I wanted to see this, but I now know that movies are not what they used to be.
What was the point of this movie? Are we supposed to care about humanity, people's lives? This movie had no point, there is no reason to root for anyone or anything.
The movie starts off with the kids being unloaded on their father, now who is getting punished here? The kids really don't seemed thrilled to see dad, and dad doesn't seemed thrilled either, in fact he seems just as happy to see his ex-wife as he is to see his kids. Real love at it's best.
A few examples of why this movie sucked
1.Son steals car, dad runs into the street looking for him, he finds his kid who informs that lightning struck the ground, so dad leaves his kids to look at a hole in the ground, really good parenting skills
2.Aliens start killing people left and right, but only a few blocks away nobody cares
3.Dad and family on the road, radio transmits a "this is only a test" signal, followed by "had this been a real emergency" exactly what is a "REAL EMERGENCY" Starbucks runs out of coffee
4.Dad and family arrive at abandoned house/neighborhood, yet all the lights in the house are on, I mean all the lights
5.Nobody turns on the TV, I guess time with Dad is no TV time
6.Dad wants to leave the sparsely populated country side to go to Boston, yes why should the aliens be in Boston
7.A mob attacks their van, yet only a short walk away is a ferry filled with cars
8.Only 3 Americans (civilians) are carrying guns
9.Dad has to inform the army that they should shoot at the alien vessel
10.People complain about the ending, I welcomed it
I kept the list to 10, honestly I WASTED enough time on this film already. Also I think it should be noted, just as how the movie industry was busted for making phony film critics praise their movies, this will happen with IMDb. No way does this deserve "Best Movie Ever" "Best Sci Fi" only people who are paid to say so, will say ANYTHING good about this movie.
WOW, this movie sucked.
