Something I would watch
And is it just me, or does at 0:58s sounds like from Transformer movie?
cgi looking good, though we saw no details and i wonder why no acting was shown, could it be less than satisfactory considering the rather no-name cast?
btw, s. hawking gets some airtime for his messages of fear to the public, as if they are not being scared enough - not to mention that hawking is making a fool of himself by giving such predictions/assumptions with no evidence displayed whatsoever, meaning he better stick to what he knows best (theoretical physics)
for other SF movies with the alien invasion theme watch the following:
..great:
Mars Attacks! (1996) comedy
Dreamcatcher (2003)
Men in Black (1997)
..good:
Independence Day (1996)
The Faculty (1998)
Signs (2002)
Critters (1986)
War of the Worlds (1953, 2005)
Mars Attacks! Now that's a damn good alien movie
Man, did everybody loved to bash this movie....i'm not saying it was ID4 level sci-fi and indeed the trailers pointed in that direction, but it surely wasn't the piece of crap everyone says it to be. It was a decent sci-fi movie, centered ONLY around what a few guys hidding in a condo in a middle of a alien invasion witnessed. The SFX were great that's one thing, and the ending everyone hates....i liked it. Was a good way to point out that hope never dies in a movie full of negativism and no escape scenarios.
See it, but watch it with an open mind, not with a intelectual hammer in hand.
