It goes back to the roots of literature evolving with the industrial revolution and how "progress" changes society for both good and bad. Hollywood has forgotten that great Sci-Fi is not about outrageous stories and far-out futuristic fantasies, it's about cause and effect of something new and how society reacts and uses the new technology or discovery.<br /><br />Ultimately, a good story has to involve human nature. After all, science fiction in essence is a vision of the consequences of present day.<br /><br />The leading man in this film is an ordinary corporate yes man. He's a bit of a goob and takes his job a bit too seriously, but he's believable. If aliens ever land on earth, everyone involved in the encounter (especially if it spans 40 years), is not going to be leading man material. To dislike this film because Will Smith, Harrison Ford or Tom Hanks, etc., didn't star in the leading role means you've lost your imagination and open-mindedness. <br /><br />Granted, I knew this wasn't a big budget film going in so I wasn't expecting a mind-numbing special effects extravaganza. However, I still found the effects engaging and like the grungy feel of the film instead of the easier Sci-Fi route of disctracting glossy and high-tech environments.<br /><br />The story was realistic because it's probably how mankind would react to having an immigration of aliens. They'd isolate them and try to profit from their existence.<br /><br />I liked the originality of this film. I didn't read any of the reviews because, frankly, I don't care what professional reviewers think of films. I'm more open minded when it comes to film and judge them on their own accord. As soon as you start comparing one film to another, you're proving that you want to be disappointed and go against the grain.Ripleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-986399394681957518.post-58804305771371232952009-08-23T17:30:25.012-05:002009-08-23T17:30:25.012-05:00hello... hapi blogging... have a nice day! just vi...hello... hapi blogging... have a nice day! just visiting here....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-986399394681957518.post-62980989362032755792009-08-23T11:59:21.663-05:002009-08-23T11:59:21.663-05:00Good post.
