Negative Positive
Title: Laughable
Review: The director couldn't make up his mind whether he wanted to recreate the paranoia of the '50s or the politics of the present. The depiction of an overboard military, political and scientific response to the invading Christmas tree ornaments was laughable. Script and acting were high school acting sophomoric. The science/technology was so absurd that any decent high school science student could poke innumerable holes in this movie. Producers do not want to hire science advisors because a dumbed down product makes more money. One example demonstrates the whole movie: To convey the emotional/informational impact of the moment the director does nothing more than a prolonged camera close up of a pretty face as the FIRST person to approach the alien space ship. That time worn shot is as creative as they can be? And, why a microbiologist (of all people) would be allowed to walk up and touch it is beyond comprehension. CSI crime scenes show more intelligence.
