Not a bad alien-invasion movie.

Rating: 7/10 (23 January 2014)

A science-fiction movie where we have Tom Cruise starring as divorced dock-worker Ray Ferrier, who happened to get to spend the weekend with son Robbie (Justin Chatwin) and Rachel (Dakota Fanning). However, when a strange storm suddenly arrives, a battle between humankind and vicious aliens take place.
This is not your typical alien-on-the-loose movie. While city destruction, fleeing citizens and mayhem and carnage are in abundance here, there is a good deal of drama and character development being missed into the fast-going plot. I wouldn't consider this an epic movie due some cheese factors here and there, but this is still a pretty exciting movie to watch given the on-screen drama, pretty neat special effects and the intriguing fight for survival for the humans from the horrific aliens.
Grade B-
