Many things did not make any sense at all. The freeway scene at the begnning was pretty improbable. There wouldn't be a perfect little path for good 'ol tommy. Cars would have been next to each other and people would have tried to steal Tom's car. That kind of thing dosen't only happen in towns. Also there was no reason for the blood vessels. The aliens would NEVER have lost in real life. They were chillin' and watching our every move, were they not? They should have had heat sensors by then, right? Little things like "How the heck did the son get back home?! Didn't he die?!" plauged my thoughts throughout the entire film. If you don't think about it, it is probably pretty enjoyable. The premise prompts thought though. That's my take on it. I think that I would give this movie something closer to a 2.75. Many things did not make any sense at all.

Personally, these flaws didn't bother me enough to detract from my enjoyment, and in fact I have to admit I didn't even notice most of them. I compare it to the movie Signs... so many people complain about how illogical it is for aliens to come to a planet that is made up almost completely of water when they it is deadly to them. But both movies are all about the terror of the moment, not about context and rational thought.
