It wasn't the same though, it didn't hit a huge climax like the album (and the book?) did. In the book he ran out to give himself up, that was going to be the end of it, he was going to die.
3...2...1... He's not dead. He's alive! Yay, we win!
There was no climax in the movie, it just ended at a random point.

Nope, I watched wanting it to be good. I wasn't let down for once.

It depends how you're watching it. If you want it to be awesome, you'll think it's awful. If you're just watching it as a film, you'll think its amazing

Was that not the point though? As with the book and other earlier versions of the story, there was never supposed to be a desperate fight where human's discover the secret of bacteria and spend some time planning a strategy to defeat the invaders. There was never a climactic battle that sees humanity overcome the aliens in a "just seconds to go" type of way. It was always a case of a quick finish thanks to some poor preparation on the part of the attackers. Its still fair to say it seemed rushed, but I just wanted to add that its meant to seem that way.

A big budget, modern B (style) movie. Loved it myself.
1/2 of me wants to say bloody amazing, 1/2 of me wants to say utter s***.
awful from the 20th minute onwards.
Yeah. plus the ending was really rushed i felt. But a good 1 overall i reckon.
I thought it was good. But a bit repetetive.
