I think the movie looks good and Speilberg has yet to fail me  
(sorry but I liked A.I and Minority Report).

However, the spin of the movie is more of a ‘Signs’ type approach than an ‘ID4’.  
(Follow a family through an alien invasion rather than the entire nation).

It sounds good but I hope it deviates from what ‘Signs’ already attempted to do.

Well, I think it’s safe to say we were all pretty much wrong on this one.
