Revisiting this movie nearly 30 years after I first saw it in the theater., it holds up much better than I remember. Silly intentional fun.

Hilarious 😂! Lots of scenes I didn't remember. The aliens were jerks had me laughing so hard. Especially the scene when he shock the presidents hand. Or when the aliens rolled around the translator machine saying "we come in peace". A classic to watch everytime your in the mood for weird, creepy funny sci-fi.

Campy movie that is actually better when viewed more than once. When I firsthand the film I was expecting a movie akin to Independence Day. This movie is for people that enjoy campy 1950s style science fiction. If you enjoy the Fallout games then you will likely enjoy this movie!

Just full tilt ridiculousness. First watch was in 2023. Absurd ensemble comedy.

Never seen until recently. Its fun, campy, and ridiculously off kilter. Expecting anything else is your fault. Its not a “bad” movie, it’s just exactly what it tried to be. Definitely a fun movie I will come back to from time to time.

Plenty of fun cameos in an irreverent, destructive tale of unprovoked invasion, sending Earth's silly little idiocracies into collective tailspins.

Great fun. Enjoyed the film. Laughed and had a good time watching this. Particularly loved the lady Martian in the White House being seduced by press secretary, she was great, that walk just the best.
