Good fun

Rating: 10/10 (7 July 2005)

This movie is not the best work from Spielberg, but it is still much better than a lot of people have been saying. I'm relatively stunned to see this movie maintaining a 7.0 average in the rating department, given how much hate has been directed at the project. I'm not very confident in recommending this movie to anyone, and not because it's bad. Out of 6 people including friends and family, 3 of us liked it, 1 thought it average, and the other 2 *HATED* it. Most people who hate this movie hate it because it's far-fetched. Which blows my mind, considering how many other movies, especially other sci-fi affairs, are remarkably far-fetched. I find it funny that people rip on plot holes and inconsistencies and the high suspension of disbelief necessary, and then they turn around and talk about how much better Independence Day was. Talk about missing a clue...
Bottom Line: I totally dug this movie. I've seen it twice, enjoyed it thoroughly both times. 10 out of 10, easy.
