The story is too familiar now of aliens landing in spaceships willing to vaporize anyone in their path. They seem to come from everywhere and want nothing other than to destroy all life on earth.
The Spielberg/Cruise version is good too in its own way; however, this is the one that started it all. I love the sounds of the lasers and the ships hovering and slowly creeping over the landscape frying the local townspeople.
A lot of the dialogue is corny and the SFX are obviously dated, but the film still has charm and delights you from beginning to end.

Movie has a good cast with Kitsch, Rianna,Skarsgard and Decker. The storyline and plot however is very cheesy and you can figure out what is gonna happen before it does. Some of the action sequences make this movie at least a one time watch. Also has a decent soundtrack
