I expected more

Rating: 2/10 (2 February 2008)

The original story presented an opportunity for a really good movie but, the special effects were unbelievable, the mannerisms of people were unrealistic and the subplot between Cruse and the kids just got in the way. As it turned out it was a poor TV show not a real good movie. Perhaps someone needed to talk to refugees of the past that experienced flight from war.
I realize that the original book was written before our present technology was developed so the writers had to update but they rely on the publics ignorance, unfortunately most are not that ignorant. For instance, Cruse was running from the monster and he kept running with the crowd in a straight line while the monster was picking off people ahead and behind and no one had the common sense to go for a side street? Where were they running? And with buildings falling down other gather close to watch? Didn't anyone see 9-11?
Maybe I expect too much!
