No Thanks.

Rating: 4/10 (28 November 2005)

When this came out, I looked forward to seeing it, despite having Tom Cruise in it. But, I was pretty disappointed after watching it. What I expected was an updated version of the '53 movie. This was far from what I saw, and there were only a few things they had in common. I was disappointed with the added gore, the idea that the aliens already had killing machines buried in the earth, which had never been detected. And the machines were doing some kind of processing of the captured humans, then flooding the ground below with blood. was this necessary? And Tom Cruise? He played a jerky father pretty well, maybe because he's had real life experience.
