Spielbergs alian invasion film is solid but not great

Rating: 8/10 (8 August 2005)

Spielberg's end of the world invasion film is decent. The acting was not great, special effects were amazing, Spielberg's direction was truly brilliant, spielberg is a master of his craft. However the film did not end in a believable manner, chatwin was horrible and cruise was only decent. I thought this film could have been better, but nonetheless, was entertaining. I would have liked maybe for their to be more characters involved, Spielberg instead showed us only one family and didn't give much depth to them, although Cruise's character was well-written. The script wasn't bad, the film had a good style but could have been better. About as good as A.I., not as good as Minority report 8/10
