Saw it at the Pueblo Tinseltown.
Well, this has to be the first time that a Spielberg movie has disappointed me so much. Cruise was the wrong choice for the lead, because you expect the dashing/capable hero type character whenever he is on screen, not the Average-Joe Father that he is trying to portray. They also gave Dakota Fanning far too much lens-time. This reminds me of the constant zooming in on Elijah Woods' miserable hobbit face in the first of the Rings trilogy. You know, it gets too much. She's always on the screen, wide-eyed, shouting or screaming and quite frankly it got on my tits after a while.
Tim Robbins' talent was buried under a totally-unbelievable and pointless character. Even the special effects were nothing special after all. The only good thing about the film was the sound.
A totally missable film: if you haven't seen it already, then give yourself a pat on the back and congratulate yourself on money saved.
