Editorial Review:
One of the biggest box office hits of all time delivers the ultimate encounter when mysterious and powerful aliens launch an all-out invasion against the human race. The spectacle begins when massive spaceships appear in Earth's skies. But wonder turns to terror as the ships blast destructive beams of fire down on cities all over the planet. Now the world's only hope lies with a determinded band of survivors, uniting for one last strike against the invaders - before it's the end of all mankind.
In this movie, the director and writers are saying "Your so stupid, that we can feed you any crap and bull and you'll take it like a fish". And by looking at the reviews here, it certainly seems to be just that. Here is SOME of my list of amazingly craptastical issues I personally had with the movie. Lest I had accidentally brought 15% of my brain had been a mortal life changing mistake.
(Wife/Tunnel/Fireball) Wife in car sees fireball coming at her, has time to get out of car, run long ways down tunnel, find a door in tunnel, try to open door but locked, kick door down and get in all while the exploding blast took 5 min to get to here, but it didn't end there. When she got in the door she realized her dog was missing. Still fireball blasting in her direction had time to call her dog. Dog responds and starts running in her direction and jumping just in time to miss the fire blasting behind him.
(Wife/Husband/Desert) Husband wandering aimlessly in desert just happens to run into his wife who happens to be caravaning with America finest trailer trash park.
(Amazing Virus compatibility) Mac is a great computer, but it's amazing just how the aliens had the same operating system as we do that we could download a virus to their computer. AMAZING!
(Trailer trash F-14 pilots) All our skilled highly trained F-14 pilots are all dead, but the planes somehow all survived.
"Any of you trailer trash have flight experience?"
(Highly Skilled Alien Pilots out piloted by trailer trash pilots) I have nothing more to say on this one.
I honestly looked forward to this movie and am more than willing to leave my brain at the door, but there are some movies, as such, that is so horribly written and insults your intelligence so bad, that even when leaving your brain behind that you just can't get by how dumb they think you are.
On another note, I'd like to accredit the people who had done the special effects. Where the people who had put months into perfecting the explosions and overall graphics of the movie, the screenwriter had only spent a half day on writing his quality script. It's sad to see so much hard work done, only to be insulted by a half as* job of writing. My review may not be the popular one, but I'll be damned before I ever suck up to this crap.

ID4
One of my favorite summer movies of all time, enjoyed it even more on blu ray. Great picture & sound. Paying extra for it sure worth it. There is no shame in recommending it! 2008-08-12
Its a Remake
Why didn't HG Wells get any credit on this one. It quite obviously War of the Worlds. Even the way the aliens were taken down...war of the worlds earth's bacteria killed em...ID4, a computer virus. Same thing 'from a certain point of view' (Thank you Obi) 2008-07-28
This post is for people with IQ's over 90
Anything below 90 IQ and you'll have no idea about what I'm talking about. People say that with movies like this you have to leave your brain at the door, the problem is, they don't tell you just how much you have to leave behind. Well....With this movie, the only way you can accept it, is to bring 10% of your brain. Any logical aspect of your mind will be thoroughly insulted with the whole concept and the lame a** storyline with an unbelievably predictable plot.
