Awesome movie.  Saw it today.  GO SEE IT!!

Rachel ("The Daughter") is played by <person>, who is the best actress under 30 I've EVER seen.

I thought it sucked, I saw it two days ago. Tell us why you think it was good.

Land of the Dead had so much more going on, this was flat.

I liked the action in the movie. Dakota Fanning screamed too damn much for my liking, as did oh wait.. EVERYBODY.
The effects were cool too.
Let's put it this way,
"They didn't explain how it all happened, but they fucked up the last minute by cramming it in."

I liked it, that's all I can say.  I am looking forward to Land of the Dead, though.

I saw it first day it came out but wasn't able to make a review because I was leaving. :[

Anyways, I liked it till a little past half way then it got all crappy.  Happy endings are great but how the hell did the son survive.  How did the birds affect the robot things?  Did they poop all over them?  Like I said ending was shit I thought.

The birds didn't do jack shit to the aliens.  All they did was land on it (showing that their shields were down).

Also, at the end, the son is actually a zombie ghost.

Plot hole.  The aliens got sick from the bacteria in the water/air that they didn't find cures/vaccines for while they waited a million years to attack (why not just attack the stupid cave people?).

The aliens died from bacteria in the air in the original tape recording.  I think I will like the tape better due to its fun songs!

The movie was about as holy as God himself. I mean, a FUCKING 747 CRASHES OUTSIDE YOUR HOUSE, and yet you find a clear path to drive out of the wreckage without popping a tire. This is just one of the things that boggles the mind about thise movie.

There's a few more things, plus the feeling that you missed about 10 minutes near the end, that accumulate to the overall suckage of the movie.

It was good on an entertainment level...if you analyze it the movie falls apart


As for the parasites...ok, wtf, did the original aliens that put the spacecraft there not get infected!?

Not even good on an entertainment level. For the same amount of cash dollars, you could see Land of the Dead, which was actually GOOD, and more exciting/entertaining/better done. *sigh*

If you like the War of the Worlds series, but not the movive (as I do), I bet you would like this version by JeffWayne.
