content: Allright, check your brains in at the door because where this movie takes you it'll be a liability. Aside from that, portions of the movie are humorous and there is even some good cinematography in certain places. The characters are likeable but completely unrealistic except for Judd Hirsch who is simply horrible. All its faults aside, this movie is a great way to kill off a couple of hours. I never did figure out why the alien in area 51 was so quick to announce his clan's intentions rather than lulling the government into a false sense of security. Then again why should that bother me, it's perhaps the smallest hole in the plot.What really stinks on this DVD though is the audio. I was supremely dissapointed by the lack of quality. Compared to the Matrix it is garbage and compared to many other movies it's plain bad. Frankly, this has been one of the most unimpressive audio efforts on DVD in recent memory.
