Title: The first of the big budget "aliens invade" movies!
Review: Short but sweet: I remember WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY back in '95/'96 when I saw the ads for this movie and how it was the first of its kind in that it had a big budget and (for then) high tech special effects. I saw it in theaters the night before it was officially released, and it blew my mind!Look, by today's standards the effects are (somewhat) dated, this was the 90's, and CGI was starting to be used more and more (unlike today where it's practically the standard). The movie has everything that a movie of this type should have: action, humor, good acting, a decent plot, and -POPCORN!As I've stated for "Battleship": this is NOT "2001..." -there are plot holes and goofy things you'll find wrong with it, but if you watch it for what it is; an "aliens invade us" movie and not worry about being too serious, you might just enjoy!
