Evolution is Humankinds Savior!!!

Rating: 8/10 (2 July 2005)

I very much enjoyed this film. I hate to admit it, but I thought Tom Cruise was excellent. I thought the cinematography had the signature Spielberg silvery shimmer, and this time no cheese out ending - at least not by normal Spielberg standards. I compare this to Minority Report - the last Cruise / Spielberg combo and give this a much higher rating. I also was very happy that the story followed the spirit of the original closely and that's good, too.
More importantly though, are the social implications of this movie (which I don't think it's going to change the world or anything)... But late last night I started thinking about all those on the religious right who want evolution removed from public school curriculum and did they enjoy this movie? Cuz the biology that saves human-kind and destroys the invaders has 'Darwin' written all over it.
BTW, occupations are never successful.
