I think so too
but since I now about those things it's hard to watch a movie for me, because I can see every mistake they did -.-

SPOILERS AHEAD: don't say I didn't warn you.

Did I comment on this movie yet...?

I did to ppl in MSN, but not here I guess!

I thought it was a great movie. For the most part the story made perfect sense (I wondered about that camcorder thing too, LostCalier!

) but for such a linear-type storyline, I would be shocked if there WAS a way it could be screwed up...
The entire movie felt like it had nothing to do with the aliens, but rather human nature in the wake of a catastophe. It could have been a series of earthquakes if they wanted it, and it would still probably be just as good.
I felt a LOT of the pressure of whether this movie would be good or bad relied on the special effects and the actors. For a movie with few revelations in the plot or lines, every big moment had to be won by one of those two.
I'll admit, I think the ending could have been done a lot clearer so those who didn't know the story already would get it (I was lucky enough to have a friend beside me tell me JUST before the ending

), because if I hadn't known, I'm pretty sure that I'd be a little confused. But I loved having that little revelation right at the end "OF COURSE! That makes perfect sense! They don't have anitbodies to the Cold germs!". It changed the story from one that I thought 10 minutes ago couldn't GET any sadder to a relatively happy one (for an action/horror film, that is

)

Actually, in retrospect, there were a lot of holes in the plot that didn't quite make sense... ex. those red root things... were those supposed to be their crops or something?

and all that Lostcalier mentioned. I'm going to blame the editors with this one

though I really don't see why they just didn't cut a bit from some other scenes instead... they were plenty long enough!

Anyway, I think it's the public's nature to pick on the big guys, and Stephen Spielberg and Tom Cruise are some of the biggest you can get. I liked the movie, thought it was one of the best films I'll probably see in a while, but I admit there are parts that could be better. The acting is what saved it, if anything. I really connected with the characters in it.

Great movie, recommend it.

what i thought was really funny was when Ray and the kids went to Maryanne's house and stayed in the basement... and when that plane crashed... they walked outside and their car was still in perfect condition while everything else around was destroyed

Warren I think those red things were the aliens .... hmmm how to say this nicely..... basically their waste... they eat the humans right and then they spray out all that red stuff... i guess it just hardens and spreads like fertiliser

maybe i'm wrong but that's how i took it
