I saw this movie on a spontaneous whim, because I happened to arrive at the theater when this film (and few others, which I wasn't very interested in) was about to start. I regret that I chose this movie, and there isn't much to say about it.
I'm not big on the whole cliché unknown-species-crashes-on-earth-so-shoot-at-it-with-big-missiles saga, but I thought this movie looked entertaining. I do like good sci-fi movies with mysterious apocalyptic plots, and the IDEA of this movie is decent, but it never reaches its full potential. It always seemed to stay in that "1951 regime". Just way to simple for 2008, IMHO.
The reason I give it a 5 is because it had enough action and loud noises to keep me awake, but it was still rather boring. I wouldn't say it's the worst movie I've seen this year, because the acting was good enough to keep my attention.
Overall, if you simply MUST see this movie, wait till it comes out on DVD. It just isn't worth the money. If you want a bad attempt at a sci-fi action movie to shake your head down at thinking "they could have done better", go see it, but I wouldn't recommend it for anyone expecting greatness.
