does spielberg think we're idiots?

Rating: 1/10 (11 December 2005)

i was absolutely disappointed with this movie... special effects were cool, dakota fanning is irritating & an awful actress in this film, & i am soooooooooooo tired of tom cruise... i have a huge problem with the movie, can anyone explain this for me?... maybe i am an idiot... but, after the aliens blow out everything running on batteries or electricity w/ emp's (electric magnetic pulses), one guy is taking pictures with a digital camera (ran on batteries), another is filming it with a digital camcorder (ran on a battery), then miraculously, tom cruise's escape minivan (also uses battery power) is up & running w/ a new solenoid (just in time)... obviously steven spielberg thinks we're idiots... that first 15 minutes of the movie ruined the rest of it for me... not even rental worthy... glad i didn't see it at the theater, i only wasted $3 renting it.
