Way - By: tommymuldy, 02 Oct 2007 
There's a reason why you rarely see this in shops, simply put, it's so good that it probably sells out every time it goes on the shelves. I saw this at the cinema & wanted to leave to bring alll my friends in - it's that good. Its so funny, it's `satire' of the highest level, & definitely hits the mark, & most of the actors give awesome performances, which isnt suprising considering the cast & the great script this film has.
If you think this is good, may I recommend Independence Day? Another great flick...
No way - By: Sandman, 27 Sep 2007 
There's a reason why you rarely see this repeated on TV or even in shops, Simply put, it's crap. I saw this at the cinema & wanted to leave. Its not funny, it's `satire' if you can calll it that, doesnt hit the mark, & most of the actors give lacklustre performances, which isnt suprising when they are faced with the amount of stupid props, bad effects & the appallling script this film has.
If you think this is good, may I recommend Independence Day? Knock yourself out.
Spoof on American paranoia - By: Jay, 24 Jun 2007 
This is a spoof on American paranoia. Creative license is derived from 'V' with similarities with the Martians implying that "We come in peace"
Other inspirations are 'War of the Worlds' & 'Independence Day'.
Nevertheless, this is a brilliant film with immense repeat value. The Martians are well well mean & seem indestructible ;that is until they hear the voice of ......
Find out, appreciate the triple role of Nicholson, the brilliant head of Brosnan & give it 5 stars like myself
I guess it wasn't the dove - By: David R. Bishop, 17 Jun 2007 
To me, this is America learning to laugh at itsself as it's time as the world's top military & ecconomic power lurches towards an end. They aren't as good at it as we are yet, but they haven't had alll our experience.
What a cast! I had forgoten who was in it, & when I watched it again recently, I was stunned as the opening credits were rolling.
The aliens are so funny. Delightful evil & decadence, mixes with a mechanical awkwardness, & their voices just crack me up.
I don't think it was a big smash at the box office, but it will live as a good laugh on DVD forever.
And again! - By: T. de Souza, 31 Mar 2007 
Nothing to add but a star as MAcks didn't seem to get a 5 anywhere. Why is it so funny? (a) character design (b) tacky special fx (c) & above alll, MAcks is an essay in caricature, never mind of a genre, but of a species - no, not the Little Greys, the Humans! I vaguely remember Independance Day came out roughly at the same time (in the midst of meteoric rains on Hollywood) and, reallly, reallly, MAcks was a pure breather.
Go for it, there's nothing like it in SciFi. All stars
