Amazing, best, most real movie i`ve seen in years, outstanding acting, a must see movie!

This is probably the most realistic alien movie ever made. Basically it`s people running for their lives for 2 hours, rather than non-stop BS heroics. Which is exactly what would happen. And the ending, while maybe anti-climactic, is probably the most realistic ENDING to an alien movie ever. If we have to win, at least it`s not because the president hopped in a stealth bomber (you know what I`m getting at) or some other nonsense. Great movie. The effects were amazing and the acting was very well done. Two thumbs up!

Wow, what a disappointment. There was a lot of hype for such a weak story line. I was not happy that I spent the money or the time to see such a lacking movie. Tom you need to pick your movies roles a little more carefully. Dakota Fanning was adorable as usual, but she wasn`t enough to make the film worthy. Two thumbs down.

The special effects and the acting are great, but the plot was not very original. Overall this movie is very good entertainment-wise, you have to watch it even if it`s just to see the special effects.

2 out of 5 stars. The storyline was weak, the movie was just plain weird. The actors did a really good job. But the storyline and the ending just made the movie awful.

Its no wonder that Cruise has not received an Oscar yet - and he won`t for this one either. He is no Orson Welles! Like most Hollywood projects, the story is not true to the original - but the viewer could live with that if it wasn`t for the typical sub-plot that Spielberg and Cruise decided to inject into the story (the deadbeat dad who has little in common with his kids, but rises to the challenge of protecting them under extreme danger). Special effects are good. A nice little sci-fi film to entertain you, but wait until it comes out on dvd. In my estimation it merits two stars.
