Same theory as the old version with some twist....Does end the same and for the same reasons. And you get to see aliens although they look exactly like the ones from Independence Day..I guess that must be what aliens actually look like.. .Special effects are great ..

I want to see this one. Does the death ray have the same sound effects as the 1957 movie????....MGC

Not the same sound effect. This one has very little sound but but packs more of a punch.

I am going to see this one after Church Sunday. Going to the Imperial Palace.

I'm going sometime this weekend, in between a birthday party and the Fourth festivities. After all, SBC's paying for it, not me, so I won't be contributing to the Scientology Church.

At least he didn't throw a phone at anyone

I couldn't boycot this movie, just because of Tom Cruise's odd behavior of late. I certainly don't hate the man but do wonder where his head is at these days. I'll leave it at that, out of respect for Linda - his number 3 remaining fan, behind of course Katie and CajunMama. Or maybe Linda and CM can vie for #2 status....yikes they're both gonna clobber me at this rate.

The main reason I won't boycot the movie is b/c Steven Spielberg is a genius and I enjoy his movies, even if they're far fetched. I love a good disaster movie.

And finally, Spielberg was born in Cincinnati so for another reason, I'll go see it. Don't know when, but I will.

LOL Miss Mary!

I think the Scientology crap is wacko but I still like Tom as an actor, and enjoy looking at him.

Alot of what Scientology preaches makes good sense its just they have tried to change it into some rich club of wacko's...Just my opion of corse....

I saw it today for the first time (after not reading the book and not seeing the old version), so I had no idea what was going to happen.

Having said that, I do think that the movie is a "do not miss." The special effects and acting are just top of the line. I"m taking my family to see it tonight (they haven't seen ot yet) and I won't mind seeing it again.

I can just about bet that Tom's latest talkshow craze was nothing more than a plug for his movie. Hollywood, don't ya just love it?

Exactly, just like Mel was doing with Passion .

Yeah, controversy sells.....ain't that the truth.

The film did 36 million dollars first day world wide. Not bad for a Wednesday. I guess the protest about his antics isn't working.....
