Alien Invasion

Rating: 5/10 (3 April 2007)

I would have enjoyed this movie (I love science fiction) but for one reason: there's a kid in it that kept tweaking my nerves from the beginning of the movie to the end. Those who have seen this film know what I'm talking about. For those who have not seen it don't bother unless you know you will have high tolerance for a kid with a high-pitched squeal that stabs at your nerve endings through out the film, who keeps asking 10 questions per second, and who seems to have a talent for doing the opposite of what she should do.
I felt sorry for Tom Cruise's character because he not only had to deal with the alien invasion but his baggage of spoiled neurotic kids as well. Don't get me wrong folks, I love children, but this one caught me off guard. Funny thing is that I have seen this kid in 2 other films and found her adorable. But in this one.....sheeesh!! She should have gotten an Oscar for ANNOYING. I give this film 5 stars out of ten, but would have given it 7 or 8 just for imagination and special effects alone ---BUT FOR THAT KID!!!! If you decide you want to see the movie have aspirins handy! Love, Boloxxxi.
