I did not have any expectations when I went to watch the movie and even then I thought it was a complete waste of time. The plot just got dumber and dumber and finally it ended. If you are a 6 yr old who has never seen a monster movie in your life you might like it. Other than that it's just crap. If you have seen the trailer you have seen the best parts of the movie, so don't bother watching it. I'm not even clear how Steven Spielberg could make such a pathetic movie?? We are not in 1980's anymore so he should stop bringing in those elements. It just doesn't work. Not with the sci-fci genre.
In short, the film starts out with a bunch of kids wanting to make a movie, they experience a horrible train crash and then everything goes awry from there. The monster/alien is supposedly attacking people, but when he approaches a kid and gets a 5 min sensitive talk the alien packs his bags and leaves earth??? That's got to be lame. On top of that, put in a couple of sleazy jump scenes with loud noises and that's about it.
The only positive thing about the movie is the train accident scene.
