Hire the big name actors (would someone please strangle that Dakota kid), dumb down the script and pile on the computer graphics.
This movie sucked. Bigtime. The ending was vomit-inducing. At least it didn't end with the President making a speech on the lawns of the Whitehouse (with Whitehouse in ruins) with the flag waving in the background. Welcome to cliche city.
I also hired Kingdom of Heaven at the same time. I'm a big fan of Ridley Scott, but it's a pity he made such a stinker....
The only decent DVD of a mainstream movie I've rented in the last 6 months was Million Dollar Baby.
End of rant. Doug

--in case you hadn't noticed -- was that it totally avoided the cliche of what's-the-government-doing overlay and concentrated on how people handle such situations all by themselves, no supervision.
Thus, in places, the people were scarier than the Martians!
