The beginning of showing the arrival of the alien crafts on Earth was ripped-off from the Original "V" Miniseries. From there on, especially the ending was right out of the Original War of the Worlds. The guy sitting in the row directly ahead of me was so mad he threw the press kit folder (we all were given) down on the floor and walked out. In the lobby after the film most were just complaining how so many scenes were out right stolen from War of the Worlds. My review was in Films In Review and I gave it a big thumbs down. It's just such a stupid horrible movie - then again, most of Roland Emmeric are either stolen material or just plain stupid.

Who bothers to enter a thread of a film they hate just to comment that they hate it? What's the point?
