Though Steven Speilberg always bring us good film, but this is not really the film that i wanted to re-watch. There's 2 things i hate about this film - (1) Dakota's annoying screaming (2) Justin's irrational way of running away from the father.

And finally the alien was killed by grenades? huh? i just...ok watever... this is just from an old novel of H.G.Wells in 1898, what can we expect, right?
