<p dir="auto">The special FX was good in this movie, and probably was the only thing that kept me awake. Lol, anyways, even crappy movies like these I always learn something from them, so</p>
<ol>
<li>Alien probes armed with advanced technology won't bother to look behind window blinds or curtains.</li>
<li>If the window blinds are gone, hiding behind tabletop counters are just as effective. They won't bother doing a deeper search.</li>
<li>If you know alien blue lights can suck your attention in and mind control you, looking at it through a telescope is okay.</li>
<li>If aliens invade the planet, the first thing to do is to get to a boat and pray they can't get to you in water.</li>
<li>Like #4, if you saw your best friend and a couple others die the first time because you all tried getting to the boat, try it again the second time.</li>
<li>Take pictures of aliens invading the city with the same camera you used to take pictures of your best friend cheating with his assistant.</li>

<li>when you try to do something dirty with your sexy assistant, make sure that you do it in the tiniest toilet in the house, despite you have an entire penthouse, and make sure that you let her photo it with a giant SLR camera just in case you still think there is too much room inside and operating it is not heavy at all.</li>
<li>during alien invasion, make sure that you offer others for help after they have loaded everything (just two suitcases) inside their car, it makes you a better human being</li>
<li>during alien invasion, after you have loaded your suitcases inside your car, you stay there with all the car doors open till the others come back, and scream with them for the effect</li>
<li>apparently, the human beings inside the giant alien mothership not only can survive a nuclear attack, but still alive and screamingwith their brains intact</li>
<li>if you see a fighter crashing towards you at 400mph, stay exactly where you are, and you know it will somehow flip over and hit the alien behind you, killing it and splash only half a dozen debris around you, you wont even notice anything</li>
<li>no matter which direction you run, there will ALWAYS an alien waiting for you, but when you look in the telescope, there is only a handful running around in the city streets</li>
<li>and remind the guy that is opening the door, to open the door</li>
<li>and after you run in slow motion in a giant circle, make sure you go back to exactly where you started</li>
<li>make sure that the men do all the watching and stay up all night, let the women sleep, they surely dont know how to keep a safety watch</li>
<li>the white light can only suck you in if you face it</li>
<li>it is very easy to unplug a washing machine in a fully fitted kitchen without any tools and within a few seconds</li>

I'm rather indifferent in my feeling towards the film. It was a decent way to waste an afternoon. But, I have no interest in seeing it again.</p>
