MPAA Rating: PG13
Director: Tim Burton
Genres: Science Fiction
Rating:

This quirky science fiction comedy is a characteristic feature by iconoclastic director Tim_Burton, known to moviegoers for Beetlejuice, Edward_Scissorhands, and The_Nightmare_Before_Christmas. The storyline affectionately harkens back to the deadpan sincerity of such '50s and '60s science-fiction films as The Day the Earth Stood Still and War of the Worlds. Flying saucers have been reliably seen over the capitals of the world, and the whole world awaits with bated breath to see what will transpire. Among those waiting is the President of the United States (Jack_Nicholson), who is assured by his science advisor (Pierce_Brosnan) that the coming aliens are utterly peaceful. This advice is hotly contested by the military (led by Rod_Steiger), who advices the President to annihilate them. When the aliens land, they are seen to be green, garish, and very cheerful. But appearances prove deceiving when the "friendly" aliens abruptly disintegrate the entire U.S. Congress. Hollywood notables appear in vast quantities in roles (and sub-plots) of all sizes in this zany feature. Clarke Fountain, Rovi
