A Misunderstood Masterpiece

Rating: 9/10 (8 February 2006)

This is a brilliant piece of work by master director Steven Spielberg. What is really annoying when it comes to this movie is how stupid people have become, dwelling on little details that do not matter, or that are completely wrong!! Many people asks stupid questions on the invasion, such as why they waited so long to invade if they put their machines on Earth so long ago. My answer is, or else you wouldn't have a blooming movie!! If you question everything about a movie supposed to be entertainment, then you'll quickly find out that without these technicalities, there would be no movie! Many people too comment on the fact that these machines come out the ground, how come we never saw them, stumbled on one, etc. If people would think for a minute, they would realize that these machines could have been buried at extreme depths, it is just said they are right under our feet, but they could be kilometers under the surface!! And do we humans know what lies there? Except for the material and form of the Earth there, we do not exactly know what lies near the core, or in the inner-mantle making it more than plausible for us never to see one! This film has been the subject of much criticism, which most of the time had not been thought through, though people continued to go against it. Less it we forget, the story is not about aliens. It's about a father's protection over his children during an invasion. People need to loosen up and enjoy more this movie, brilliant on special effects, story and most of all, sound effects!!
