Waster of Money.

Rating: 1/10 (3 July 2005)

The movie started out interesting. Aliens have been watching our planet for million of years and are coming to destroy us, because they are jealous, but major holes develop in the plot.
First - The aliens planted their ships millions of years before humans even evolved here. Why? They could have just taken the planet them.
Second - The aliens have been watching us and studying us for millions of years, but in the end it is the bacterium that kills them. They basically catch a cold for the germs that are on earth. Millions of years of study, having your alien tripod ships on the planet that you are going to attack before the target are even evolved, and they didn't think about the germs, or bacteria life that where already there.
Third - How the did Robby (Ray's son) live? No explanation. I would not have given it such a bad review, just because of the fact it was a "too happy" of an ending. Robby is alive? At least take 5 min to explain how he lived.
Fourth - How come the aliens did not touch Ray's ex-wife's parent's house in Boston. Why was their block the only ones not affected? I mean the aliens where killing people in London, Chicago, Los Angles, New York, and a lot of other major cities, and even the people in the country side, but Boston what safe? No damage?
Fifth - I have to go back. These unstoppable advanced aliens that planned an attack for millions of years... Caught a cold and died?
Sixth - Why did the aliens even want the earth now, when they could have had it millions of year ago?
Seventh - Why where they attack and where did they come from.
Eight - What was the alien's story? What where they thinking when they came to earth. Why where they here?!?!?!
I honestly had a gut feeling I didn't even want to see this movie, and I now know why.
This movie was not intellectually experience, and has a paper thin plot. Unstoppable aliens come destroy everything, and caught a cold and die. Millions of years to plan for an attack and not one of them thought that they might not be able to handle living or even being on this planet for more than 3 days?
Tom Cruise and Steven Spielberg owe me $4.50 each. For some reason I spent $9.00 on this Trash.
