The actors in these movies have the best deal in the entertainment business because they have so few lines they need to remember, lol. I wish the writers would've included some sort of origin story like if the aliens were sent down to earth from another alien race or
maybe it was an accident , something would be nice to tie in the Day One story. The characters were a good fit and loved the cat. The scene where thousands of people were in the streets and the aliens attacked, realistically, would have been a blood bath and more terrifying, unlike the decision to add the clouds of dust that seemed to manifest when the aliens attacked.
The producers must have got a great deal on cloud dust, because the first thirty minutes looked like an extended scene of 9/11. Overall was ok and even meeh for the most part, glad I didn't pay for it, especially for the somber ending and seemingly sad moral of the story, which is if you have terminal cancer just give up all hope 😕. That's the writer's message not mine. Someone released the full movie with ads on Youtube and when I went back to look at the credits Paramount had it removed, just a little too late, lol.
