Reviews
100
Working in the spirit of his predecessors but with the kind of uncanny special effects they could barely dream of, Spielberg has come up with an impressive production that is disturbing in the way only provocative science fiction can be.

Miami Herald
Contains all of the hallmarks of classic genre Spielberg: It shows you things you've never seen before, instills an accompanying sense of awestruck wonder, and delivers long stretches of heightened, delirious excitement that remind you why people started going to the movies in the first place.

Variety
A gritty, intense and supremely accomplished sci-fier.

It's the human struggle that makes this a sci-fi masterpiece.

It's impossible to praise too highly the verve, skill and authenticity with which Spielberg brings off his alien invasion.
