(Flash Review)
This is an amusing and odd little movie with a massive cast of A-listers. As the title implies, aliens storm Earth with oodles of spaceships. The United States with Nicholson as president try to welcome them as friends but are quickly and brazenly attacked by the happy and colorful styled aliens. The rest of the movie is everyone trying to avoid being zapped by their deadly ray guns while trying to find a way to halt their invasion. There is light comedy interwoven as you wait to see which Hollywood star will be zapped next. The special effects, weapons and sound effects are reminiscent to the 50s Martian movies and are well-done. The funniest moment for me was when the military fires a nuke at them, some alien device sucks up the explosion and then an alien smokes the captured nuclear explosion matter with a pipe! Overall, this was fairly thin but strangely amusing.
