Sadly one of the worst versions I have ever seen...

Rating: 1/10 (3 December 2005)

I rented this movie.(Thankfully didn't buy!!) and was so disappointed I could cry...I LOVED the novel...I even have a copy of the old LP album version (Remember??..Phil Lynott as "Nathaniel") and this was nowhere near either...!!
I have to admit...very good effects but ..to be honest...Well below both Speilbergs and Cruises abilities... Most of the original story gone or "condensed" so there's nothing left but a wishy washy drag through a scared parent fighting off his own personal demons..as well as a few aliens....definitely ....unless you want to rent it for a glimpse of some admittedly good effects....!!..give this one a miss!!!
