Hi Vince,
We bought on DVD some time ago and have watched twice already.
The effects are very good indeed to say the least.

Concur totally! The storm sequence, the bit where the first machine digs itself out of the ground and starts shooting the place up...

Had the sub turned up - windows rattling, floor shaking. Excellent edge of the seat movie!

King Kong is a good surround sound system workout too BTW!

Special effects were brilliant! Only three things spoiled the movie and they were all actors / characters.

1. Tom Cruise totally hamming it up, he only has two expressions (smug and smugger).

2. If there had been an Oscar for the actress who screamed the most Dakota Fanning would have won hands down.

3. The guy who played Cruises son was portrayed as a total a**e, while everyone was fleeing the aliens all he did was run towards them.

Gonna show my age now and say I prefer the original starring Gene Barry.

i have to agree with you there vince. brill movie,my favorite part is the ferry scene.

[BUSHWHACKER]

Yup.
Worse part of the film (the only bad bit)....Tom Cruise singing the Beach boy's 'lil deuce coupe'

[Apache]

Nah, the bit at the end with him and his ex wife staring at each other made me wanna vomit.

Good remake, but the original was less hammier, it got an award for effects when it was released (the original i mean),
still waiting for the DaVinci code to come out on dvd

The book useually is, read the book and enjoyed it, then read angels and demons, and a quater way through deception point, the guys a good writer,

The Davinci Code, thourghly enjoyed the book but too many storyline changes in the film and even at 150 minutes long it still wasn't enough to tell the story properly.

My advice, if you've read the book, miss the film you'll be disappointed.

davinci code is out on the 13th... thats a friday.... knights templar? oh google it then, i'm not explaining all that..

Know what you mean, i've yet to see a film that measures up to the book,
at best the film is sometimes "not bad" and at worst it's cr@p, the worst one i remember was a film of a book called (i think) the clansmen, about the klu-klux klan, the film had "top actors" lee marvin and richard burton, well marvin looked like he's rather be somewhere else, and burton looked pi$$ed all the way through and prob was, i'll still watch the film of da vinci code though as i like tom hanks and haveing read the book you already have an insite into the charictors,
Was that starring rodger moore charlie?

The worse one I have seen was "Raise the Titanic" - great book, the film should be sent to lie by the original Titanic"
