insanely stupid

Rating: 1/10 (30 June 2005)

I heard this was pretty good, but it was so insanely stupid. Cardboard characters, nonsensical action (people running towards battle with the aliens). Dumb, dumb, dumb! And Dakota Fanning is so annoying. Who would've thought that you could be an overexposed actor at ten. I will say that the special effects are good, but that's about it. And Miranda Otto is so wasted as the wife. And I hated the ending, how her neighbourhood was miraculously left intact when the rest of the bloody world is wiped out. It's not often that a film gets me so annoyed, but I can't help it, esp when you're dealing with science fiction. For something that's imaginary to work, it must be believable. Sigh...
