Nonetheless, I felt the flick was terrific.
Shimmering and jagged edges created no significant concerns, but a mix of minor print flaws cropped up throughout the movie.
The Cast includes short biographies for 16 actors as well as director Burton.

While pipe-chomping scientist Donald Kessler (Pierce Brosnan) is convinced the aliens are making friendly overtures, war-hungry Gen. Decker (Rod Steiger) urges the president to nuke them out of the skies.
the film is also heavy on cheesy special effects - a la, the '50s and '60s science-fiction flicks that provide much of its inspiration

It's almost as if Burton made this to be spoofed on Mystery Science Theater 3000, instead of making a clever film poking fun at 1950's sci-fi genre.
Sharing its plot deficiencies with its cinematic forbearers, this movie fails in that you don't care about anyone in the film (partially due to the size of the cast) and the plot certainly won't keep you on the edge of your seats.

is a lavish homage to the B movie and to the stunning array of available technology....Without a comical script to work with, most of the cast flounders.....Martin Short has the single funny scene as a sexed-up presidential press secretary attempting to seduce an alien intruder in the guise of a bombshell seductress..... ...
