Very Disappointed with WOTW

Rating: 3/10 (5 July 2005)

From a pure special effects perspective, WOTW is OK, but unfortunately there was no plot. Why did the invaders invade? Where did they really come from?, etc. As I watch each special effects scene I hoping these questions would be answered. But nothing happened. The plot centered on the main characters trying to survive; but in a movie of this type you need to really explain the "antagonist(s)" in order to keep the audience interested. If you really want to see a great WOTW film, rent or buy the original from 1953, or better yet, rent or buy Independence Day (1996). Now this movie really has it together from beginning to end.
