A waste of time and money. I just mistakenly rented this thinking it was the Tom Cruise version of this (clever marketing and timing of a horrible movie). There were few special effects and some poor acting with the exception of C Thomas Howell. Who knows why he would accept a role in such a low budget bad flick. The movie centers around C Thomas Howell WALKING to DC to find his wife and son among the ruined city after the aliens attack. Endless scenes of him walking amongst ruble and seeing an occasional alien (who never seem to notice him while killing others). The most boring movie I've seen in a long time. The story is so far fetched with him actually finding his families car while walking along and seeing reoccurring characters who he miraculously keeps running into. BORING!! Stay away from this stinker.
