Cdub100 3,366 Posted March 15, 2006 I downloaded it a few weeks back and finaly sat down to watch it yesterday. I thought it was pretty good. It followed the book while updating the some of the things. I hated the ending in the book and that's what they followed in the movie. That was one thing I was hoping they would change. All in all I give the movie a 5 out of 10. It's average, and I don't plan on watching it again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

redtodd 7 Posted March 15, 2006 I thought it was very so-so. A ton of holes on the plot. I was into it in the beginning, but I thought it got silly in the basement and got worse as the movie went on. The kid waiting for them in Boston was stupid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah the kid showing up was really stupid. The basement scene was in the book and I'm kind of glad the put it in there. That was one of my favorite parts in the book although in the book they stayed in the house for about a week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phillybear 364 Posted March 15, 2006 Tom Cruise decided to protest the DVD release because the movie had too much in common with the Scientology holy writings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yet miracukously his son is weating for them in Boston espacing certain doom. truly the worst filmm I have seen in the movies since " Battlefield Earth" Yes I was one of the 10 people that actually paid to see battlefield earth ( my wife still holds that against me ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cdub100 3,366 Posted March 15, 2006 You didn't know the movie (plot) was about this beforehand??? As I said the movie follows the book as close as it can while updating some things and that's pretty much the whole book. The guy runs and hides from the Aliens and tries to stay alive all while getting back to his wife. Then the aliens die because for some reason they didn't know about bacteria. The end. That's one of the things I wished they updated. You don't become an advanced species capable of space travel without knowing about bacteria and disease Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Moz 69 Posted March 15, 2006 You didn't know the movie (plot) was about this beforehand??? never read the book or watched any of the earlier movie versions -- went in expecting something like Independance day - I left Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TylerRoseFan 16 Posted March 15, 2006 I like movies and stories of humans as a species fighting for survival. I liked this flick. However, If i'm taking my kids for a treck, we're packing up on supplies...water, food, tools, etc. Praps it's my military background. Anyway, I hate it when I see people just getting on the road and walking w/out any type of preperation. Idiots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also I think it's implied they got food from some where. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
