Title: More stupid sci-fi.
Review: The only film approaching the stupidity of Godzilla, Dir. Emmerich delivers a film with good special effects and an embarrassingly vapid story. True this film had great commercial success and mass (herd) appeal, but it is best viewed in a theatre on opening day (thankfully come and gone). Its jingoist Only-America-Can-Save-Us theme is aptly served by its narrow, linear plot peopled with equally narrow characters played by an under utilized/over paid castID4 is a popcorn movie worth viewing once, not worth purchasing until it hits the bargain bins. Rent it instead. For better alien encounter sci-fi see Invasion of the Body Snatchers, The Abyss, or X-Files. For special effects see The Matrix.
