[sp]My take on the machines being buried for millions of years: 1) As Cored said, it\'s just one mans opinion and is not necessarily correct. 2) If they had been buried for millions of years, that\'s perfectly reasonable as well. You don\'t know the circumstances in which the aliens first visited the earth. They could have been looking at the earth as resource potential and planted those machines just as an insurance policy. As soon as word got back to them that an intelligent species was using up all their resources, they acted. That\'s how I look at it, anyway..
nO-One: What\'s your problem with the humans being captured in the cages? Seems fine to me..
The only part I didn\' t care for was Robbie being alive at the end. Too hokie and predictable. Trying to satisfy the audience. Well I don\'t always want a happy ending. Kind of like Mel Gibsons character finding God again at the end of Signs.. too predictable.[/sp]
Anyways, I enjoyed the movie. Tom Cruises acting was fine, and Tim Robbins\' acting was brilliant. I did want to stab Dakota Fanning in the face, though.
Edit: Oh, and Blade, Tommy Boy wasn\'t even scared by that second lightning blast. At that stage he wasn\'t scared yet and still thought it was fun and exciting.. he was even laughing and had a big smile on his face!
