Overall, I think that was the worst movie Spielberg has ever made. What a waste of 2 hours.

The screenplay was a total botch job. The storyline was utterly ridiculous and choppy.

Acting sucked. That little girl should win the Oscar for Most Annoying STFU Kid in a Film. God damn shut up already with the canned lines.

This was Tom Cruise at the level of time to hustle anonther $20 Mil instead of being an actor. A true actor would never have taken this role after reading the screenplay for it.

The special effects were epic, but overkill in so many scenes.

The military in this movie was completely hookie.

There were lots of weird characters in this film. A lot of dark meaning also to many scenes which I think most people won't get unless you were looking behind the lines and scenes.

The ending was as stupid as they come and a total sputtering let down.

One of the main problems the film lacked a hero. Cruise was a putz, a divorced loser who was trying to win respect from his nerd son, who was also terribly cast, and trying to get his kids through the ordeal.

There was no bad guy in the film, just a bunch of aliens you'll swear you've seen before in some other sci-fi film and I bet anything they were re-used ones.

I rate this move a big fat ZERO on a 1 to 10.
