The Stupidest Movie Ending EVER

Rating: 8/10 (30 June 2005)

SPOILER
This movie had the stupidest ending ever. It starts out so good. Cruise's performance is great. The effects are great. It has tense and scary moments. I'm getting geared up for an epic battle in the last 1/3 of the movie where the humans defeat the stupid aliens. But then it comes. The stupidest ending of any movie of all time. All the aliens just drop dead.
As if, after 1 million years of preparation, the aliens never thought to take a soil sample? Never thought to test the water for potentially infectious disease? How did they manage to land and bury their spaceships the first time around? Why didn't they just take over earth when it was just the dinosaurs, if in fact they were here 1 million years ago?
Never have I laughed so hard at such a preposterous ending. This piece of trash movie could have been so great but instead, like Spielberg's last Cruise film, it's just plain stupid and has no soul, no heart. I want to blame it on Scientology, since L-Ron Hubbard spawned the worst sci-fi movie of all time (Battlefield Earth), but isn't Spielberg Jewish?
