Synopsis: Jacob Jankowski is about to take his final exams in veterinary medicine at Cornell when his parents are killed in a car accident. He drops out and joins Benzini Brothers, a second-rate traveling circus trying to survive during the Depression.
Starring: Reese Witherspoon, Robert Pattinson, Christoph Waltz, Paul Schneider, Jim Norton
Directed by: Francis Lawrence
U.S. Rating: PG-13
I actually had no idea what this movie was about prior to seeing it. I hadn't read the book, and I actually hadn't even seen the full trailer. I knew who was in it and that it looked like a period film. I'd heard great things about the book so I knew I wanted to see this.
I loved it. The costumes were beautiful, the storyline was intriguing and the ending was perfect. I'd always thought Robert Pattison was somewhat of a cheesy actor, but he was actually good. He narrated the movie, and well...he just looked so good! Reese Witherspoon is a class act. She was perfect for the role. I was mesmerized during her acts in the circus. She did very well!
There was some animal cruelty shown that had me wincing, but that was the only thing I didn't like. I think this would make a perfect gift for a woman in your life! It was fantastic!
Plot:
Through the eyes of two versions of Jacob Jankowski—one in his nineties and another in his twenties—readers witness what it was like to fall in love, both with circus animals and with a strong woman. When he is a couple days short of gaining his degree in veterinary science from Cornell University, Jacob learns that his mother and father have been killed in an automobile accident. With this stroke of bad luck, Jacob has his planned future suddenly snatched away. As he stumbles through the next weeks in a daze, numbed not only by the cold winter but also by no longer having any family or home, he sees a train chug by in the night. On a sudden impulse, Jacob jumps aboard. The train is moving toward some unknown destination, and Jacob needs a change. What he is soon to discover is that he has climbed aboard a circus train. But this is no Ringling Brothers or Barnum and Bailey. This is the “Benzini Brothers Most Spectacular Show on Earth,” a misnomer if ever there was one.
The circus world that Jacob has just entered is filled with beguiling characters, not all of them attractive in the same way. First, there is Alan J. Bunkel, referred to as Uncle Al, the owner of the circus. Uncle Al makes no bones about it; his main focus in life is money and power. He wants his rag-tag circus to be as spectacular as the Ringling Brothers, but he is going at it in all the wrong ways. Uncle Al surrounds himself with thugs who will do anything he asks, including murder. And then there is August, the animal trainer, who becomes Jacob’s immediate boss. August has a split personality. On one hand, August takes Jacob under his wing, like a father, because he appreciates Jacob’s veterinary skills. On the other hand, August is a monster. He beats his animals and later beats his wife, Marlena, a circus performer, with whom Jacob falls in love.
These are the main characters, except for Rosie. Rosie is the one elephant in the circus, a wise old beast that only understands Polish. She is smart enough to pull up the stake that holds her in place, stick her trunk into the big container of lemonade when no one is looking, then return with her stake and pound it back into the ground. But she is not smart enough to avoid August, who beats her mercilessly, though she does, in the end, gain her revenge.
At the heart of the novel is a love story: that of a young man and a young, ill-married woman, as well as that of the two young people and the animals that surround them. In the course of telling Jacob and Marlena’s story, Gruen also exposes the relationships between the circus people, the performers and the workers, who are tied together by their need to survive during the economic hardships of the Great Depression. Most of them put up with Uncle Al’s cruelties because they have nowhere else to go. They sleep in boxcars while the train transports them across the States. They enjoy some good meals under the circus tent, but they seldom receive their promised wages; and they all know that if they come up lame or ill, they are likely to be “red-lighted”—thrown off the train in the middle of the night and left for dead.
There are many times when Jacob’s life is threatened, but readers know he survives because it is the ninety-year-old Jacob who is telling the story. Jacob in his old age provides comic relief as he grumpily moves through his nursing home, wishing he could once again taste fresh fruit or a hamburger as well as a bit of his old circus life.
I would rate this movie with a 4/5

Synopsis: "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" tells the story of Wolverine's epically violent and romantic past, his complex relationship with Victor Creed, and the ominous Weapon X program. Along the way, Wolverine encounters many mutants, both familiar and new, including surprise appearances by several legends of the X-Men universe.
Starring: Hugh Jackman, Liev Schreiber, Tim Pocock, Troye Sivan, Tahyna Tozzi
Directed by: Gavin Hood
U.S. Rating: PG-13
Hugh Jackman did a great job on this film. A film with such an unique cast, great CGI effects and amazing action scenes. The best thing of the film is not just watching the plot and events related with Wolverine and his life, but having the chance of watching the film again on Blu Ray. It offered more content and deleted scenes showing how the film relates other prominent mutants in their early years (for example, Storm).
Wolverine could be considered the first film of the X-Men Origins series. We all know Fox and Marvel is already working on Magneto and Dead pool. It will keep a wide open window to these two companies to keep working on this amazing franchise and bring future films about the life of some of the most famous mutants.
I really enjoyed the film. I'm a huge fan of the franchise, even though, I can't consider this particular film at the same level of the previous X-Men films. Yes, it offers amazing effects, great cast, a good story, a good direction, but I think the trilogy brought stronger plots and entertainment to their fans. That's just my personal appreciation. No matter what, I totally recommend it!
What did I like from this movie?
1. Such an amazing cast and visual effects
2. I really enjoyed Hugh Jackman playing this role once again. I support what Stan Lee commented on this matter, that he couldn't see anyone else playing this role after all the previous films
3. I really enjoyed how they left the doors opened to relate this film with the future film of Dead pool
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. It was a pretty good and entertaining film, but compared with the X-Men Trilogy, there's something missing. I don't know if it is related with the direction or content

U.S. Rating: R
Director Joe Johnston worked on an amazing remake of the classic The Wolfman. He tried to keep the characters, story, period in history and essence offered in this classic from 1941. For this reason, it is not a reboot, sequel or prequel. He didn't try to adapt the story or change the period in history and, everyone agrees that it was the best decision, since it helped to keep the beauty of this film.
I'm honest, I haven't watched this classic from 1941, but I'm so looking forward to watch it! All the comments and information written and offered about this original film express that it is such an amazing horror film.
The Wolfman, for those who haven't watched the original classic from 1941, tells the story of Lawrence Talbot (Benicio Del Toro), a well-known actor from London who was raised in the U.S. by his aunt. When he gets a letter from his brother's fiancee, Gwen Conliffe (Emily Blunt), letting him know that his brother has been missing for two weeks, he decides to go back to London and find who or what killed his brother.
His search leads him to the gypsies. He tries to find some answers about a horrible attack suffered by a group of men, who were all mutilated. He visits this group and tries to find the relationship or business between his brother and this group of people. While he's trying to find answers, the group is attacked by this fast and deadly mysterious creature. Soon, Lawrence will find himself chasing this creature in the middle of the night, being attacked and injured by this creature.
Lawrence is taken back to his father's house (Anthony Hopkins), who has immediately called the doctor and prepared everything to attend and take care of his son. Gwen takes care of him while he heals in such an accelerated and unusual way. They notice that a sense of attraction is growning in their hearts while he's recovering of these injuries and she takes care of him.
Lawrence starts realizing what happened to him and how it will affect the rest of his life. This information is spread among all the population and he's immediately considered a threat to everyone, but his father protects him from the townsfolk and reveals some secrets kept away from Lawrence and the rest of the world.
The nights before the full moon, Lawrence notices his father walking out to a crypt right next to their home. He decides to follow him and finds some secrets, while his father locks himself in this crypt and leaves Lawrence free. Lawrence soon faces his new reality, when he becomes a furious and dangerous creature who has attacked some people and slaughtered every single animal found on his way. A Scotland Yard inspector arrives to town to investigate the deaths, while all the leads take him to Lawrence and his unnatural healing after being attacked by the beast. He is arrested and placed in a mental institution while the doctors try to get some details about his abnormal physical conditions. His father visits him while he's in prison and reveals him that he's a wolf man too, and he was who killed his mother and brother.
He swears revenge and wants to kill his father. He's taken into a court of scholars and they try to demonstrate that he wouldn't turn into a beast on that night, when the full moon would come out. Lawrence tries to warn them that he would kill them all. As said, when the full moon came out, he transformed into the wolf man, killing everyone and escaped from his imprisonment.
Meanwhile, Gwen meets with Maleva (a Gypsy) where she tries to find a way to lift Lawrence's curse. Both, Lawrence and Gwen revealed their feelings for each other recently and that's her motivation to help and save him from his curse.
Inspector Francis Aberline (Hugo Weaving) follows him and tries to hunt him down, but he escapes. Lawrence arrives at his father's house, who is already waiting for him. Both turn into wolf men and start fighting each other to death. Lawrence kills his father ripping his head off. Gwen runs into the forest, only to be chased down by Lawrence, the Wolfman.
Just as Lawrence is about to attack, she pleads for him to stop, bringing out the slightest of human emotions left in him. But when he hears the nearby mob, he violently panics, losing his restraint. Gwen then shoots Lawrence with a silver bullet and kills him. Before he dies he turns back into a human and spends his last moments with Gwen. The mob arrive and they see Aberline injured, being attacked by the Wolfman just before he's killed. Gwen's parting words are heard as Talbot Manor appears in flames and a wolf's howl is heard, presumably from Aberline.
The Wolfman was an extremely entertaining film, a little bit scary, remaking an amazing plot and the best of all, supported by such a unique and extremely professional cast. Totally recommended!
What did I like from this movie?
1. The sound was more than espectacular! Especially on those scary moments and scenes when the Wolfman attacked his victims
2. The cast was simply amazing
3. Director Joe Johnson made such an amazing work. I'll give even more credits after watching the original film and compare both movies
4. The CGI effects, simply amazing
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. I believe that something was missing or not delivered by Director Joe Johnson and Benicio Del Toro. I believe that Lawrence Talbot should have tried to deliver more emotions and drama about his affliction and pain due to his situation and curse. It didn't affect the overall quality. Other than that... it was such an amazing film
I would rate this movie with a 4/5

Starring: Ellen Page, Marcia Gay Harden, Kristen Wiig, Drew Barrymore, Juliette Lewis
Directed by: Drew Barrymore
U.S. Rating: PG-13
Drew Barrymore impressively made such an amazing impression with Whip It, not just for the fresh script, talented cast, but her clever eye on this, her first time role as a director. She had such a great taste and eye, putting everything together and offer such an enjoyable film for everyone. Ellen Page brought once again her charming and sarcastic sense of humor and personality to her role and mixed it with that image of the sweet, modest, naive and honest girl that wants to cross the line and show that excitement for risky sports and the things she wants to fight for. Going against her parents' desires and goals, trying to make her live the life they wanted for her, she found her passion and love when she met the girls of the rough-and-tumble sport of roller derby. The plot is based on all the drama, romance, sport competition involved in her decision and actions. a really good, fresh and entertaining film. Totally recommended.

Nancy Meyers surprises her fans and viewers with such enjoyable and entertaining romantic comedies. I'm one of them. I'm not a huge fan of romantic movies, but I must say that I've watched all her romantic comedies, and I have enjoyed every single one of them. On this film, Nancy brings the story of a man working on a prestigious marketing company who gets a curious and rare gift after suffering an accident at home. The gift? He can hear women's thoughts! Let's face it, what man wouldn't want to have such an amazing gift?! Mel Gibson and Helen Hunt play great roles in this romantic comedy, reflecting a good chemistry between both characters.
Helen Hunt, one of my favorite "beautiful" actresses play a good and professional role in this film, along with other great and well known actresses like Marisa Tomei.
What did I like from this movie?
1. One of the funny moments, when he's leaving his home and the black lady in the entrance starts talking about his butt... really funny
2. The whole situation with Marisa Tomei, really funny, especially when he finds her at the entrance of his home and she confronts him asking him if he's gay
3. Good plot, a little bit cheesy, but the comedy involved made it easy and enjoyable to watch
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. I haven't seen Helen Hunt ever since!...

Synopsis: For U.S. Marshal Carrie Stetko, things are about to get even more dangerous. The only law enforcement in this unforgiving territory, she has just been sent to investigate a body on the ice. Antarctica's first homicide. A shocking discovery in itself, it will plunge her into an even more bizarre mystery and the revelation of secrets long-buried under the endless ice--secrets that someone believes are still worth killing for. As Stetko races to find the killer before he finds her, winter is already closing in. In the deadly Antarctic whiteout, she won't see him till he's a breath away.
Starring: Kate Beckinsale, Gabriel Macht, Tom Skerritt, Columbus Short, Alex O'Loughlin
Directed by: Dominic Sena
U.S. Rating: R
I must agree with most of the reviews about Whiteout. The plot is pretty poor and predictable. Kate Beckinsale played impeccably her role, and it's not because I really like her, but because she has lifted her acting performance to a higher level and her most recent roles have been played amazingly well. In this action/thriller, she plays the role of a U.S. Marshal trying to solve a homicide in the Antarctica. Due to the climatic conditions, she has to run against the clock and solve the mystery involved in this death, not knowing that she'll be working so close to the responsible of this incident, putting in risk her own life. If you like Kate Beckinsale, it's a good film to watch, but don't expect anything good from this plot.

I must agree with most of the reviews about Whiteout. The plot is pretty poor and predictable. Kate Beckinsale played impeccably her role, and it's not because I really like her, but because she has lifted her acting performance to a higher level and her most recent roles have been played amazingly well. In this action/thriller, she plays the role of a U.S. Marshal trying to solve a homicide in the Antarctica. Due to the climatic conditions, she has to run against the clock and solve the mystery involved in this death, not knowing that she'll be working so close to the responsible of this incident, putting in risk her own life. If you like Kate Beckinsale, it's a good film to watch, but don't expect anything good from this plot.
What did I like from this movie?
1. Kate Beckinsale's beauty ;) and performance
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. It was a poor and predictable plot
I would rate this movie with a 2/5

Ok, let's face it. This movie confirms that it doesn't matter if you get the best cast ever for any given film. If the plot and script SUCK, the film will be a disaster. War, Inc is one of the weirdest and most bizarre movies I've watched within the last couple of years. War, Inc is a political satire about war businesses and corporations. The only problem is that the humor on this plot might be either too smart for me, or so weird that I can't get it at all. It's so bizarre to watch Hilary Duff shoving scorpions her panties or firing a machine gun like a mad woman, just to mention a couple of dozens of weird images, scenes and situations. Honestly, I couldn't focus on the film... it really didn't get me at all.
What did I like from this movie?
1. Hilary Duff's boyfriend looks like a cheap imitation of Ali G
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. What could have been a smart political satire about the business of war, turns into a ridiculous and unreal script
I would rate this movie with a 1/5

Synopsis: After the failure of his career, his marriage, and his suicide attempt, world-class grouch Boris Yellnikoff, spends his days insulting the small children unfortunate enough to study chess with him and irritating his still-loyal friends with his never-ending tirades about the worthlessness of absolutely everything. A former Columbia Professor and self-proclaimed genius who came close to winning a Nobel Prize for Quantum Mechanics, Boris fancies himself the only one who fully comprehends the meaningless of all human aspirations, and the pitch-black chaos of the universe. As he readily admits, Boris is not a 'feel-good person.'
Starring: Larry David, Evan Rachel Wood, Patricia Clarkson, Ed Begley Jr, Michael McKean
Directed by: Woody Allen
U.S. Rating: PG-13
Who doesn't love Larry David?! Anyone who loves Curb Your Enthusiasm will definitely love this movie! Whatever works is Woody Allen's latest production, a smart, hilarious and entertaining plot about Boris Yellnikoff, a very irritating man with no sense of patience at all, who doesn't like sex or be married to any woman... at all! Boris is considered a genius, someone nominated for a Nobel Prize in Quantum Mechanics, but he didn't get it. He's hypochondriac and washes his hands while he sings twice Happy Birthday. Oh! forgot to add that he's divorced and he limps when he walks after trying to commit suicide and he didn't make it. Boris meets accidentally Melody, who stays at his apartment and after a while, they get married. Then, her mother finds her and by some crazy opportunities, she becomes a famous photographer... and wild liberal woman living with two men. Her father, a devote and crazy priest drowned in debts, finds her while he's trying to find his wife and gets her back. On this journey, he discovers some secrets about himself. A really funny and twisted final. Totally recommended!
What did I like from this movie?
1. When he teaches and plays Chess with kids. The way he insults them and gets money from them when he wins. So Hilarious!
2. Boris' personality... if there was someone perfect for this role, it was 'undoubtedly' Larry David
3. The moment when Melody's dad finds her and starts praying in the room, really funny (same situation when her mother found her!)
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. I'm not a big fan of Woody Allen's work, but this one was a really funny one!
I would rate this movie with a 4/5

Starring: Antonio Banderas, Vladimir Kulich, Dennis Storhoi, Daniel Southern, Neil Maffin
Directed by: John McTiernan, John Sullivan
U.S. Rating: R
A fascinating horror movie with a very unexpected final. Antonio Banderas plays the role of IB Fahdlan, an important emissary who is banished from his homeland and is forced to join a band of Norse warriors, learning their language and being able to be part of their culture and people. When he gets to their village, he finds out that every time the foe covers the surface of the land, they get extremely scared and cautious. When the foe surrounds them, they're being threatened and attacked by mysterious creatures that kills every living thing on their way. A very frightening thriller that offers an unexpected final, when Antonio Banderas needs to take part of their fights, to the end when he leads them to the destruction of these mysterious creatures.
What did I like from this movie?
1. I enjoyed that even though I was able to partially guess the situation and things that were about to happen, I never expected the final of the movie
2. I haven't watched a movie about Vikings in a while, so it was kind of interesting to watch
3. I think that Antonio Banderas played a good and enjoyable role, supported by a good cast
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. Not very pleasant in some scenes, especially some of the scenes with the mysterious creatures
I would rate this movie with a 3/5

Synopsis: Chris Vaughn has come home. He's a retired U.S. Special Forces soldier who has returned to his hometown to renew old relationships and make a new life for himself. But while Chris was away, his boyhood town wasted away to a dilapidated, crime-ridden shell of itself. His wealthy high school rival, Jay Hamilton, has closed the once-prosperous lumber mill--once the area's largest employer--and has turned the town's resources towards criminal gains. The place Chris grew up is now overrun with crime, drugs, and violence. Enlisting the help of his old pal Ray Templeton, Chris gets elected sheriff and vows to shut down Hamilton's operations. His actions endanger his family and threaten his own life, but Chris refuses to back down until his hometown once again feels like home. Chris Vaughn won't talk softly any longer--and he carries a very big stick.
Starring: Dwayne Johnson, Johnny Knoxville, Neal McDonough, Kristen Wilson, Ashley Scott
Directed by: Kevin Bray
U.S. Rating: PG-13
A plot based on a true story always catches my eye. If it has Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as the main character, then becomes in a "must watch". Even though the script offered just a very basic summary of the original story, Dwayne Johnson and Jhonny Knoxville offered great action and funny scenes to the film, making it (at least) entertaining. Dwayne Johnson has proved that he's a really good actor. He's proved he has the talent to play great roles in any drama, comedy, suspense or action film and give his best. He can turn every single movie into a blockbuster due to his professional efforts in making his roles enjoyable and entertaining. That's exactly what he did in Walking Tall. Walking Tall is not all about the story, but the entertaining roles played by these guys.
What did I like from this movie?
1. Definitely, the action scenes are the best. Every one of the fighting scenes at the Casino and the shooting scene at the Sheriff's office can be considered really entertaining
2. Johnny Knoxville gives the comedy touch to the plot. I really enjoyed when Knoxville laughs after they destroyed the Booth's truck and Booth says that they're gonna get hurt, making a barking noise at the end
3. The whole big stick situation, really interesting. I don't know if the original story was just like the described in this plot, but if it is like it really happened, it was really interesting
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. The situation at the court session, when The Rock defends himself and he gives a short basic speech and closes it opening his shirt. I don't know if it was exactly as it happened, but I think they could have offered more accurate material and more drama to the plot
I would rate this movie with a 3/5

Synopsis: In an alternate 1985 America, costumed superheroes are part of the fabric of everyday society, and the "Doomsday Clock" - which charts the USA's tension with the Soviet Union - is permanently set at five minutes to midnight. When one of his former colleagues is murdered, the washed-up but no less determined masked vigilante Rorschach sets out to uncover a plot to kill and discredit all past and present superheroes. As he reconnects with his former crime-fighting legion - a ragtag group of retired superheroes, only one of whom has true powers - Rorschach glimpses a wide-ranging and disturbing conspiracy with links to their shared past and catastrophic consequences for the future. Their mission is to watch over humanity...but who is watching the watchmen?
Starring: Malin Akerman, Billy Crudup, Matthew Goode, Carla Gugino, Jackie Earle Haley, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, and Patrick Wilson
Directed by: Zack Snyder
U.S. Rating: R
The Watchmen's costumed superheroes, operating in an alternative 1985, are seriously screwed up -- and so is their movie. The film tests the limits of superhero movie fans. If you're not already invested in these characters because of the original graphic novel by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons, not much this movie does is likely to change that predicament.
The writers never find a reason for those unfamiliar with the graphic novel to care about any of this nonsense. And it is nonsense. When one superhero has to take a Zen break, he does so on Mars, for example. We pick up the relationships quickly enough, but soon realize these back stories owe more to soap operas than to superhero comics.
These aren't so much superheroes as ordinary human beings with comic-book martial arts prowess. The one exception is Dr. Manhattan who, in true comic book fashion, was caught in a laboratory accident that turned him into a scientific freak -- a naked, blue glowing giant, looking a little bit like the Oscar statuette only with actual genitals -- who has amazing God-like powers.
The point is that these superheroes were more vigilantes than real heroes. They don't seem too much different from the villains in the story. Which also means we don't empathize with many of these characters. I did, however, like the character Rorschack --his mask one of perpetually shifting inkblots. They added a section about his past that led me, personally, to feel his violence was almost reasonable.
Although the movie didn't have characters you were empathetic toward, I did appreciate what the writers of the original novel were trying to accomplish with this story. The comic world was/is used to the stereotypical superhero -- the ones from other planets and have a goodness about them that is above human. The Watchmen attempted to bring more human qualities to the superhero world. The main point that was intended was that even the best of us have some nonredeemable qualities (e.g. Dr. Manhattan does not want to help the earth because he doesn't care for the qualities of humans) and even the worst of us can have redeemable qualities (e.g. The Comedian was a rapist who hit on his own daughter though he did ultimately save lives). The creators of The Watchmen wanted a "superworld" that surrounded the REAL world.
What did I like from this movie?
1. I liked Dr. Manhattan's superhuman abilities and some of the fight sequences
2. I liked that Rorschach had an inner-morale that lead him to kill such people as serial killers and gang leaders
3. I thought the scene where Rorschach was taking a Rorschach Test was hilarious because he answered that he saw such things as butterflies and flowers in the inkblots but he actually sees horrible things that happened in his past
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. I didn't like that the only real superhero in the movie, Dr. Manhattan, didn't want to save the earth and was obviously a "male chauvinist pig" in that he always wanted the younger, prettier woman
2. I didn't appreciate all the violence, some of which was completely unnecessary to show (e.g. the entire child serial killer part)
3. Although I understand and appreciate that the writers were trying to create a more realistic superhero, I did not like that these characters where so flawed in nature. One of the main reasons I like watching superhero movies is because they give us a sense that there are better people/beings out there that want to help us. This movie did not give me such hope
I would rate this movie with a 3/5

Synopsis: The extraordinary battle for the future of humankind through the eyes of one American family fighting to survive it. Ray Ferrier is a divorced dockworker and less-than-perfect father. Soon after his ex-wife and her new husband drop of his teenage son Robbie and young daughter Rachel for a rare weekend visit, a strange and powerful lightning storm touches down.
Starring: Tom Cruise, Dakota Fanning, Miranda Otto, Justin Chatwin, Tim Robbins
Directed by: Steven Spielberg
U.S. Rating: PG-13
One of my favorite movies. Steven Spielberg brings such a great master piece to the big screen. A plot loaded with amazing effects and great sound. All the cast involved offered such a great content, even though, this movie has received lots of critic. Considered to be in the list of the top blockbuster movies, many people have written lots of critics about some errors and incongruency on some scenes, like the first ones during the first attack, when all electronic equipments stopped working, but some people were taking pictures and video taping the attack, or at the end of the movie when Tom Cruise reunites with his family in a city in Boston where nothing was destroyed and his family looked like they were just worried waiting for them (after such a desolation and deadly traumatic and horrible situation). Anyway, I liked the movie, no matter these discrepancies, I totally recommend it.
What did I like from this movie?
1. The effects on this movie, simply amazing!
2. The situation when Tom Cruise and his daughter are in this basement with Tim Robbins and they're visited by the machine arms and some aliens
3. It was good the beginning, when they're about to be attacked after the lightnings and how Tom Cruise is such a coward, being scared of it
4. Really liked the camera effects when they're running away driving in the van
What did I dislike from this movie?
A little bit too long, that's at least how I felt, that it would get really boring if the movie would take 5 more minutes longer.
I would rate this movie with a 4/5
