Seriously?

Rating: 1/10 (8 July 2005)

I find it hard to believe that anyone found this film anything other than absurd. I am not quite sure what I found less believable, Tom Cruise looking flawless as he ran through the streets, or his ex-wife and her cohorts managing to find the only street in the world unscathed by blood and gore. Sure, a film about aliens attacking the world is not going to be realistic, but give us a bit of credit. And Tim Robbins? Were there elements of his character that we were supposed to find comical? I certainly laughed at his impression of himself as he dug a tunnel to the city. I am disappointed in Spielberg. He must believe that the public will devour anything he makes, much like the giant anus that tried to devour Tom Cruise. It is a good thing he had those grenades. I only wish I had something to quell my pain. See it just to see how badly it was done. It will be worth the laugh.
