Extremely disappointing...

Rating: 2/10 (9 July 2005)

When I went to see this, I was expecting to see a good action/sci-fi thriller flick. The previews were deceiving! Instead I get this totally plot less movie, with a terrible script, and almost emotionless characters (with the exception of Dakota fanning's character whose constant screaming was extremely annoying). Ray however is an "a**hole" father and gets worse and worse throughout the film. Was the throwing the peanut butter sandwich at the window totally necessary? The script is just plain uninteresting. Tim Robbin's character was okay. But I mean come on, if they aliens are as intelligent and advanced as they supposedly are, then they would know that Ray and them are hiding behind the mirror. And all the electricity is out but a guy still manages to use his camcorder?Huh? Overall, the only reason I gave it a two is because the special effects were pretty decent, but that's it.
