Movies are not made of Special Effects alone....

Rating: 3/10 (14 July 2005)

The obvious jumps right out right away. How could an Alien Species sooo advanced, let something like lack of biological knowledge bring them (literally) to their knees?
Over 50 years ago, the Movie was made. THAT movie was superior, even in my opinion technologically. For instance, those alien ships used force field tripod legs to walk on. That was way advanced for 1953!
Just everything about the other movie and its story was better. Even the Martian probe, with its 3 lenses and Martian blood running through it. They even showed what Humans looked like to the aliens. And for the time period, it was acceptable for the aliens to die of BACTERIA.
Million of years of study? Give me a break. All I can remember is Dakota SCREAMING. Tim Robbins freaking out, like a looser form MARS ATTACKS or worse. Martians so stupid they seemed like a bicycle and picture of people were fascinating!!? And, they get in their ships in lightning bolts? From what ships? Orbiting ships? Better ships in the sky? Ships millions of years better?
Oh all right. I will stop now. The movie was a royal pain in the behind. I give it a score of 3 for special effects. I am in a GENEROUS MOOD.
This movie was waaaaaaay bad. Big disappointment. How do you spell lame? Oh I remember, with a capital L. Like LOOSER.
You are dropping the ball DREAMWORKS. But, your company still makes money. I guess the bottom line will work in this case.
