Very disappointing

Rating: 5/10 (4 July 2005)

Great special effects but the story was disappointing. Some big holes in it and the ending was quite lame. Not one of Steven Speilbergs better movies. He wasted his money hiring Tom Cruise. He could have hired a talented unknown and not lost anything. Tom should stick to jumping off Oprah's couch and pushing his Scientology crap. He is an overpaid has-been. Dakota Fanning was the human star of the film. "Invasion of the body snatchers", "Day of the Triffids" and "Independance Day" were better and more scary and entertaining alien invasion movies, even the old TV mini-series "V" was better. Wait until you can rent to DVD to see it.
