Intense and Good

Rating: Null/10 (1 July 2005)

I just saw the first day release of this movie and i have to say that Spielberg builds up good ways to jump you up on the edge of your seat. Surely this movie does not hold up a proper ending, but it still has those great moments where you feel the protagonist is going to go down in total chaos. It starts with the introduction of the Ferrier Family, then after you get to know all the characters and the Aliens come down, things start to build up and get more intense. The special effects and action sequences will leave you dazzled (hoping for an Oscar Nomination after Kingdom of Heaven). The main elements missing are the strength of the script and the direction, other wise everything is just awesome. Tom Cruise is superb as ever, Dakota Fanning is becoming a great star, i was hoping that Tim Robbins would give a good supporting act but he just there for a nice short while. the other technical aspects like editing and sets is well done. i was hoping for some John Williams music in the movie but its only offered in the proper moments. the whole other obstacles in this movie is over the top. if you expect good effects and some thrills and chills, this is certainly the movie for anyone...otherwise you can just sit back and enjoy it. i give it a good 8 out of 10 This Movie is Intense and Good
