Ah! the eighties when people use to see UFOs at every street corner! Uninteresting movie about alien coming to earth. While here, his only mission seems to be to catch the next bus home. Jeff Bridges performance is not bad but it's hard to believe that he got an Oscar nomination for it. Maybe that explains why I pay no attention to the so-called Academy. I could probably take the next few hours and write a script for a similar movie. "Look! They're running on the side of a crater in the middle of the desert. Menace to our dear country, let's shoot missiles at them!" And how can we not mention the always conveniently placed fuel truck on a little known highway?!?

Of course, you're entitled to ask the question: why did you rented it then? Answer: luckily, I got it for free at the local library. And the only reason I saw it is because I didn't rate it 20 years or so ago when I first view it.
