That kid ruined a movie that might have been okay. There was no reason to constantly hear his wining and back-stabbing. It really ruined a movie that was just hanging onto me by a thread. I really wanted that kid to just die at the end of the movie. Everything about him was awful.
The rest of the movie was okay. It should have been much cooler. The 50's version had cutting edge and suspense. This had none of that, plus bad CGI work. How many times have we seen NYC destroyed? We don't need to see that anymore. The "Ship" was very lame. A saucer would have been much better, but anything would have been better that what they picked. The Military people and all were awful.
Overall it was mildly entertaining and really felt more like one of those bad Sci-Fi channel movies, bad graphics and all. Get the DVD and just fast forward it every time you see that kid and the movie will be much better.
