one of the best movies i have ever seen

Rating: 10/10 (3 July 2005)

I LOVE THIS MOVIE. it is with out a doubt one of the greatest movies i've seen in my life, mainly because it felt real, like it could happen today. i actually own the TV from the movie, which really helped to connect it to the world that i live in. i actually found myself caring what happened to the characters. it managed to keep the focus on the family, while still having a truly epic scale. i was on the edge of my seat from the moment the aliens attacked to the end credits. it was one of those movies where you walk out of the theater in awe. another thing that helped make it so believable, was that the beginning was actually pretty funny, the baseball scene in particular. i don't want to say any more, but it also showed me that this guy had the same kinds of problems we do. the only real negative was that the ending was a little weak, however the rest of the movie more then makes up for it. everyone should go see it
