Oliver L An ok movie. Definitely not his best Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/22/25 Full Review M H People loved this movie. They left the theater crying (unfortunately, I originally saw it in person). It has a great Rotten Tomatoes score and, yes, I’m still baffled as to why after all these years. This movie is absolutely mind-numbingly stupid: Aliens, who water burns them like acid, decide to come to earth naked; a planet that is 70% water and has copious water vapor in the atmosphere. Their choice of a landing spot central to the movie? Yes, of course, water-irrigated cornfields (they also had spaceships hovering in the clouds of various major cities, but the story centered on cornfields in rural Pennsylvania). These aliens communicate with each other by making crop circles and with radio transmissions that can be picked up on a cheap baby monitor. The weapon these advanced, galaxy-transversing naked aliens use is a semi-noxious poison farted out of their wrists that’s so mild that a sickly child survives an attack because his asthma prevents enough poison to be breathed in. These aliens are completely confused on how to get in a boarded up house, or out of a locked kitchen pantry. All this is a backdrop to a ridiculous implied narrative of God’s plan of restoring the faith of an apostate preacher-farmer by making the family’s vet fall asleep driving and fatally pinning the mom to a tree with his truck so that, before her death, she can offer advice for the baseball-playing son to “swing away” which he heeds when the aliens enter his family’s farmhouse. He kills the aliens when he fights back by swinging his baseball bat at the naked aliens by (accidentally at first) shattering glasses of water his young sister leaves around the house which saves mankind by giving us humans the key to defeating the aliens: Splashing them with water! And don’t get me started on the part about the family’s German Shepherd attacking the little girl because it “sensed a predator” in the cornfield. That, friends, is not how German Shepherds work. Some fanboys of this ridiculous movie, in an effort to explain away the plot holes and sweeping logical inconsistencies, will try to say the aliens are really just crop-circle-making, spaceship-riding demons (or something else, but not really aliens), but that, somehow, just makes it even worse. Despite a great cast and wonderful cinematography, It’s absolute shite. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/17/25 Full Review Alyah M une famille déchirée qui se reforge quand tout semble perdu. Ce film est à voir deux fois, rien n'est laissé au hasard. Des personnages attachants et un réalisateur hors-pair qui réussi à allier tension et attente tout au long du film Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/09/25 Full Review Alessandro A I wonder who could write such a script. Aliens eat humans that are made 70% of water, but water it toxic to them. Logic. How, how was it possible that someone decided to finance this? Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/21/25 Full Review Lloyd S This movie is so good I kept my eyes to the screen the whole time. Highly recommended. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/30/25 Full Review AE J This gem makes my top 10, beautiful screenwriting, visually stunning and engrossing. I catch more symbolism each time I see it, there is a great deal of depth to it, humor and sadness. It is so special, Gibson and Phoenix are on their A games I love both performances equally but for different reasons, each are truly dialed in and deliver utterly believably authentic characters.
