Worst Movie Ever

Rating: 1/10 (5 July 2005)

What in the world was that? OK, I understand the need to pay homage to HG Wells and everything, but let's not forget he was writing for a different audience. People actually thought Earth was getting attacked and freaked out. We are sitting in a movie theater. There's a big difference. One of the worst parts is the lack of a plot. The whole movie consists of them running. There is hardly anything that shows a bit of understanding of what is going on, why they came, why they attacked at that point, and why the aliens look exactly like the ones in Independence Day. Then, after all this running, it just ends. They never explain what happened to the son either. Sure, it was somewhat nice to have a movie without the natural progression where they come, they beat the crap out of us, we figure some crazy way to beat them that has a small chance of working, then we beat them, but geez, develop the plot somewhat, if not even that, develop the characters. They jump into the attack 5 minutes into the movie. I might have gotten over it had the ending not come without warning and had been so stupid.
