The little girl was annoying. The aliens planned their attack for millions of years and watched the planet enough to become jealous of people but were totally oblivious to the fact that disease exists on the planet? Even if disease explains how the aliens died, why did their shields stop working it seems that the dieases would take the aliens not their machines. Also the fact that this story was really just about how it took the end of the world for tom cruise's character to become a good dad was pretty boring.(so good a dad that he left his son to walk into certain death by wall of fire, nevermind the fact that he lived) Also the plane that crashed in that neighborhood took out everything except their stupid van. I hated this movie so much and these are just a few of the reasons why. I would say it was the worst i saw this summer but I saw Star Wars 3 and Kingdom of Heaven this summer too. Oh and the thing i wanted to see most, Tim Robbins bludgened to death was done off screen with that damn kid singing.
Go read the book
