Notes

My quick rating - 5,7/10. Still quite a fun movie. Even over time, the effects look pretty good. Remember practical effects, before CGI? Seems like when the cold war was somewhat fading away was the time movies such as this, the "living amongst us" flix, became pretty popular. Using the midwest for a setting is quite perfect as well. And though I wasn't quite as captivated by this as I was back then by the V miniseries I still had a good time with it. If you haven't checked this one out before, it has all you would like from it including the quirky characters and ambitious shock hits. Though now these little tricks aren't going to surprise you as much as they did then, at least it still entertains.
