So very disapointing
I travelled in by taxi the day after i watched this film, the taxi driver was raving about signs saying how wonderful he thought it was. I'm a fool, i should have taken the train. How could I even waste breath over how wrong he was! The reviews and trailers made this film to look like the alien sci fi flick of the decade, a winner, after all Mel does do good films! But no! The story starts to build up tension and fear but loses just as soon as it finds it. ET sent more fear up my spine than these aliens and the story just took a nose dive at the end.

He uses big stars because they're available, but his passion is for putting...
