Was this the sequel to "Cloverfield" we've waited 3 years for?
Well it's a prequel, and a terrible one at that.
I hated this film. The suspense was overwrought and the film has an overall "Ode to Spielberg" feel about it, especially since it's a bunch of kids who are the focus of the attention.
The "I must save my family" plotline-please someone stick a fork in it already and either come up with a different track for the actors to take or just let it die already. It's what made the Tom Cruise version of "War of the Worlds" almost unwatchable and it did this film no favors.
I'm glad I didn't pay to watch this. One of the lines in the film describing the alien is "It's terrified and hungry and it just wants to go home. When it touched me I knew". Wow, what garbage. For a second there I thought I was watching "District 9" all over again.
I never thought I'd say this about a Spielberg movie, but "Fast and Furious 5" was a better flick.
Ladies and gentlemen, don't spend your hard-earned money on this crap.
