The Positive: The hits: the special effects are worth the ticket; the ensemble cast has interesting chemistry; some unexpected humor along the way.

The Negative: The misses: The alien invasion storyline lacks originality; the script isn't quite as polished as the visual effects; quite long for a simple story.
