this wasn`t a good movie...there was no climax or story line...it seemed as if everything was happening without a purpose...the acting was over the top i thought, too dramatic...i didnt find anything clever in the movie, it`s all the same stuff over again...tom cruise is an american boy with an american car, with an american flag, with a troubled son, and with a scream happy daughter...give me a break

in the original, the aliens die because of a (spoiler). i went to the movie thinking they might have changed the ending. i was wrong: they give it away in the FIRST FIVE MINUTES!!! what a waste of $10.

I don`t see how people think it was bad because in my pint of view it was an awesome and cool movie-5 stars from me. See i find the actors did very very well as if this was actually happening. Tom Cruise was great along with Dakota Fanning and Justin Chatwin. If your looking for a great night out-go see this movie-cool,freaky and awesome-It really makes you think about how important life and family and friends are and how lucky we all are for being alive, here on earth. I say if you didn`t like it-you completely missed the moral and pount of the movie. GO SEE THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The movie is very dissapointing to see. The ads and all the publicity about the movie are very misleading. Story line = (what story line? Did they forgot to watch this movie before releasing it?) There is no element to this movie. (by element i mean like sad, happy, heroic moment) I give this a 2 out of 5 stars. This is much better than blair witch project.

Not the best, not the worst, but it makes you think "what would you do if the end was near?" Loved Dakota, she`s the real thing.

I thought that this movie was absolutely terrifying! Steven Spielberg sets the tone really well, and the acting, especially Dakota Fanning`s, helps you get into the oh-my-god-the-aliens-are-coming mind set. It was great! I caught myself several times, staring at the screen, my eyes wide in horror and my hands over my mouth. The ending seemed a little random, but the rest of the movie had me completely absorbed. This is summer block buster that definately needs to be seen in theatres for the full adreneline rush effect

i just saw the movie a couple hours ago and i must say that i enjoyed it. i was a little disappointed cuz i was expecting it to be AMAZING, but it wasnt. i give it 3.5 stars cuz the acting was well done, but personally i think cruise could have done better...oh well. the ending was great and anybody who couldnt understand it needs help...it was pretty clear how it ended. overall great movie!

great special effects but didn`t anyone notice the microphone hanging down in some of the scenes, particularly when they are hiding in the basement - very distracting but funny!
