Not Worth Seeing If You Like the Original

Rating: 1/10 (1 September 2005)

The only things this movie has in common with the original are (1) the beginning voice-over, (2) one scene in the middle of the movie where the large machine sends out a drone which searches for people and (3) the voice-over at the end.
The acting was bad, the movie was very, very slowly paced, and the ending was simply unbelievable.
My only good comment is: I loved the machines and some of the scenes where they were present.
Somehow I think S. Spielberg's losing his touch...surely he's seen the original with Gene Barry. I've certainly seen him do better work before.
