Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen the aliens are investigating the junk in the basement, one of them plays with a bicycle wheel. This is a reference to the original book; the main character observes that, with all the advanced technology the aliens possess, they do not use any wheels, and wonders if the alien life form had skipped the invention of the wheel.
- Goofs(at around 25 mins) A camera is seen filming the alien despite all electronics being disabled earlier in the film.
- Quotes
Robbie Ferrier: What is it? Is it terrorists?
Ray Ferrier: These came from some place else.
Robbie Ferrier: What do you mean, like, Europe?
Ray Ferrier: No, Robbie, not like Europe!
- Crazy creditsThere are no opening credits after the title is shown.
- Alternate versionsFor the U.S. theatrical release, the Paramount logo appeared before the Dreamworks logo at the beginning of the film, and the poster credits said, "Paramount Pictures and Dreamworks Pictures present." Since the U.S. version's home video/DVD rights are owned by Dreamworks, the Dreamworks logo at the beginning of the movie appears before the Paramount logo, and the back of the box's cover art says, "Dreamworks Pictures and Paramount Pictures present." In the European version, the original order of the logos and studio names is preserved (and the DVD is released by Paramount).

Great movie
This is in many ways a fantastic movie in my opinion. It is sad that movies like this are far between. It includes all of my favorite topics, like apocalypse, alien invasion and the reunion of a father and his children. This movie has depth more than just being an action movie.
