this monster flop have an interesting story outline fill with garbage . the alien have weakness that make even the non rocket scientist in the audience wonder how do these guy survive long enough to conquer anyone . the next question i find myself ask be this and how long would certain thing ( book and computer dependent machinery and combustion engine ) last and still be of any use to anyone . too many thing you see in the movie be simply beyond belief . but this be science fiction you say . of course . the point be that the basic story could have be tell without any of these ridiculous question bug the viewer if the people make it have just think thing out for an hour or two . i understand that suspension of belief be a requirement of sci fi fan but you have to limit it to just what be necessary to tell the story you be try to tell .
