Ugh...

Rating: 3/10 (4 July 2005)

Okay, I gave this movie a 3 and, interestingly enough, that's the amount of scenes I enjoyed in this movie. And by enjoyed, I mean I found them mildly interesting. This movie is horrendously disturbing. Why? What is the purpose of making a blockbuster movie about aliens disturbing? The aliens' machinations can make you cringe, and the humans are all entirely despicable. What Spielberg has done here is he has made the "Schindler's List" of alien movies. However, that's based off of real events, this is not, so it really defeats the purpose. Thanks for telling us how to act when the aliens attack, except there are no aliens to attack! I highly suggest you not see this movie, particularly not with young children or if you have a weak stomach (I don't, but a friend of mine began to heave in the theater, just so you know).
