What an awesome film. I love the mystery, the style, and the direction. You never see more than you need to, and the pace moves along nicely. It’s neat to follow the feelings of the earth people, as they realize a visitor has come blazing down at 4,000 miles per hour, and possesses unknown powers and designs on humanity. The “let’s hunt him down” radio talk seems like that’s just what a fraction of reporters thinks. I got the vibe that most people were curious, mystified, and uneasy.
I really enjoy this film, and am thrilled that December 12, 2008 will produce the opening of a remake starring Keanu Reeves (as the alien) and Jennifer Connelly! Can’t wait…
