I don't care if Antonioni or Bergman is your favorite director, or how many Criterion Collection films you own, or if you're college dissertation was on the intricacies inherent in the auteur theory. Bill Pullman's speech is rousing, inspiring, well-written, incredibly delivered and simply awesome...you know it and I know it.

Overacting, terrible direction, crappy script and CG which is suckage. This movie is a complete waste of time and resources.I didn't like the movie when it came out and I don't like it now. It is so horrible that I rank it along side "Battlefield Earth"I thought the script was a collection of horrible scenes loaded with actors who couldn't convince me there was any drama taking place. The CG was laughable. The direction was stupid.The fact that it made money is an example that 51% of the movie viewers are ignorant.

Independence DayIt's the same survival-natured script with just another perspective with some good visuals and battles but still the audience is smarter than this.
